Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey

Fish population survey

Structured LakeList extraction from the 2024 DNR fisheries survey. Population estimates, density, and catch-rate indices use different units, methods, and scopes, so each value is presented in its original form rather than normalized against a different measure.

Management contextFlowage-wide 2024 late-spring electrofishing and summer fyke-net samples; CPUE remains gear-specific while printed lengths cover all 2024 surveys.

DNR found moderate smallmouth-bass abundance, low sampled panfish abundance with favorable size structure, and high nontarget walleye electrofishing CPUE.

  • The target LakeList row has no WBIC; migration requires the exact queue UUID, WI, name and Iron County.
  • Species merely listed on page 4 without exact counts are excluded.
  • Combined-survey length ranges are not assigned to a single gear.
