Fishing forecast
Weather-based planning built from the National Weather Service hourly forecast near this lake.
Checking wind, precipitation, and near-term weather windows.
Water temperature
Modeled surface-temperature estimate built from seasonal climate, lake depth, and live National Weather Service air temperatures near this lake.
Seasonal estimate. Checking current National Weather Service air temperatures…
Warmest water of the year. Fish hold deeper or feed in low light; swimming and watersports are at their best.
Estimates are modeled, not measured. Actual temperatures vary with depth, wind mixing, and recent weather — verify conditions before swimming, boating, or heading onto ice.
DNR water check
Historical volunteer-monitoring record for this lake.
The last DNR samples for this lake are from 2007, when the water showed hazy water (~3.3 ft Secchi), elevated algae (chlorophyll ~12 µg/L), and elevated nutrients (phosphorus ~34 µg/L). After 19 years without samples, these readings describe the lake as it was, not as it is.
| Year | Secchi | Chlorophyll-a | Total phosphorus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 3.3 ft (1) | 12.0 µg/L (1) | 34.0 µg/L (1) |

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2010 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.
Human-reviewed catch, CPUE, population, recapture, and size metrics for exact Swamsauger Lake.

Depth FAQ
Swamsauger Lake is 15 feet deep at its deepest point, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Swamsauger Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
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.
