Warmest water of the year. Fish hold deeper or feed in low light; swimming and watersports are at their best.
Estimates are modeled, not measured. Actual temperatures vary with depth, wind mixing, and recent weather — verify conditions before swimming, boating, or heading onto ice.
DNR water check
From Wisconsin DNR / Citizen Lake Monitoring readings at Pella Deep Hole.
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.Clearer than 23% of 597 monitored Wisconsin lakes with current readings.
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
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.
A 2022 Spring Netting I fyke-net survey assessed the Pella Pond northern pike population and produced a mark-recapture abundance estimate.
