From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at West Alaska Lake - Deep Hole.
Last sampled Sep 2025Volunteer monitoring since 2016
Through 2025, somewhat hazy water — summer clarity of 9 ft sits near the middle of monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Latest individual samples: Secchi 9 ft (2025-09-25), chlorophyll-a 4 µg/L (2023-09-05), and total phosphorus 15 µg/L (2023-09-05).
Secchi clarity is how deep a black-and-white disk stays visible from the surface — more feet means clearer water.
Chlorophyll-a is an algae pigment; higher values signal more algae in the water column.
Total phosphorus is a nutrient that feeds algae and aquatic plants. It is not a weed survey — depth, bottom type, water movement, and management change the actual lake experience.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2019 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.
Survey indicatorsValues keep their source unit and method; unlike measures are not scaled or compared.
Management contextWest Alaska Lake, Kewaunee County only; the source prints exact name and county but no WBIC, so sourceWaterbodyIds is empty.
Human-reviewed 2019 electrofishing catch, relative-abundance, size and age metrics for West Alaska Lake.
- Historical survey snapshot; not current regulations or navigation guidance.
- The source does not print WBIC 94300; migration uses it only as the queued LakeList identity guard.
- Bluegill 260.6 fish/mile is retained because 245 fish over 0.94 mile supports it; the conflicting later 274.6 figure was excluded.
- Comparison-year and statewide age values were not promoted.
