Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2025 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-specific combined spring electrofishing and fyke-net survey. Combined catches, gear-component counts and the report's printed stock/quality/preferred CPUE values remain distinct.
DNR found panfish-dominated catches, unusually abundant pumpkinseed-bluegill hybrids, and smaller gamefish roles with non-target pike and walleye metrics requiring caution.
- The report's four-net/four-night wording does not reconcile with multiple printed net CPUE values; all rates remain source-reported and are not recalculated.
- Northern pike and walleye were low-count non-target species, so their CPUE remains a limited gear-specific index.
- The figure caption on page 2 incorrectly calls its bluegill histogram black crappie; no unprinted chart value is promoted.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Stella Lake?
Stella Lake is 22 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 9 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Stella Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Stella Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Stella 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.
