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 contextMirror Lake (WBIC 1296000) only
Human-reviewed 2014 abundance, population, catch-rate, length, age and size-structure metrics for Mirror Lake.
- 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.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Mirror Lake?
Mirror Lake is 19 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 8 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Mirror Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Mirror Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Mirror 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.
