Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2023 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 May 2023 survey using 31 fyke-net nights and four miles of electrofishing. Every metric remains a relative-abundance or sample size-structure observation.
DNR documented very high walleye and smallmouth-bass catch rates, substantial northern-pike and yellow-perch abundance, moderate muskellunge/black-crappie/bluegill abundance, and generally small sampled fish outside muskellunge.
- Sparse raster figure pages 2-3 are retained in the hash-verified source but are not used for promoted values; every metric comes from page-numbered narrative on pages 4-6.
- No fish counts or whole-water abundance values are derived from rounded CPUE and effort.
- Heavy wind and moving ice damaged two fyke nets; source CPUE values are retained as printed.
- Two northern longear sunfish were noted as a rare Wisconsin species, but the source does not establish a standard metric scope for that observation and it remains context.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Teal Lake?
Teal Lake is 31 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 15 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Teal Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Teal Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived) survey data.
Where does the Teal Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from C-MAP Genesis community sonar (derived). Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are derived from community sonar recordings (C-MAP Genesis Social Map, used with permission), with gaps between recordings interpolated; not for navigation.
