Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2021 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 contextThe 2021 comprehensive survey used spring fyke netting and spring, summer and fall electrofishing to assess Hilbert Lake gamefish and panfish populations.

- Only metrics explicitly supported by the cited source page were promoted.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Hilbert Lake?
Hilbert Lake is 32 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 9 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Hilbert Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Hilbert Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Hilbert Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from LakeList depth model. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are a modeled estimate calibrated to the lake's documented maximum depth - not a survey, and not for navigation.
