Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2022 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 contextMetrics retain the DNR report's stated gear, sample, sex, age and waterbody scope and are not converted to whole-lake estimates unless the report explicitly publishes an estimate.
Human-reviewed 2022 fisheries survey findings for Herby Lake in Polk County.
- This is a historical fisheries survey snapshot, not current fishing regulations or a real-time fishing guarantee.
- Values were selected by human review from the cited pages and preserve report-specific sampling scope.
