Wisconsin DNR fisheries 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.
DNR found very high bluegill relative abundance, stable crappie/bass/pumpkinseed/perch rates and size structure, and only a few incidental northern pike.
