Latest individual samples: Secchi 8 ft (2023-06-18), chlorophyll-a 2 µg/L (2020-10-27), and total phosphorus 10 µg/L (2018-05-21).
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 2014 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 contextLake Noquebay (WBIC 525900) only
Human-reviewed 2014 abundance, catch-rate, population, length and size-structure metrics for Lake Noquebay.
- Historical survey snapshot; not current regulations or navigation guidance.
- Only explicit fish-population observations and estimates were promoted; stocking rows, management targets, regulations and unsupported chart-only values were excluded.
- Metric source pages, survey years, methods, raw units and exact report-waterbody scope are retained.

Where does the Lake Noquebay depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived). Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are derived from community sonar recordings (C-MAP Genesis Social Map, used with permission), with gaps between recordings interpolated; not for navigation.
