DNR water check

Water quality quick take

From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Pella Deep Hole.

Last sampled Jun 2022

Through 2022, somewhat hazy water — the latest clarity reading of 5 ft is lower than most monitored Wisconsin lakes.

Based on the newest individual DNR samples — too few to average.

All readings by year · station details · methodology

Latest individual samples: Secchi 5 ft (2022-06-21) and chlorophyll-a 11 µg/L (2022-06-21).

Secchi clarity is how deep a black-and-white disk stays visible from the surface — more feet means clearer water.

Chlorophyll-a is an algae pigment; higher values signal more algae in the water column.

Total phosphorus is a nutrient that feeds algae and aquatic plants. It is not a weed survey — depth, bottom type, water movement, and management change the actual lake experience.

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.
