Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Fish population survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2026 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 contextJute Lake bass-and-panfish electrofishing results. Panfish metrics apply only to the 0.5-mile all-species station; gamefish metrics use the full 2.5 shocked miles. Muskellunge were not a target and remain bycatch-scoped.
Wisconsin DNR's 2026 survey found very high smallmouth-bass catch for the lake class, very low largemouth-bass and bluegill catch, a 27-fish yellow-perch sample, five incidentally captured muskellunge and 40 white suckers.
- Smallmouth-bass catch ranked above the 95th lake-class percentile, while largemouth-bass catch ranked below the 10th percentile.
- Bluegill catch ranked below the fifth lake-class percentile and came from the 0.5-mile all-species station.
- The report calls five muskellunge adult but gives a minimum length below its own 30-inch adult definition; LakeList does not promote an adult-count claim.

Depth FAQ
How deep is Jute Lake?
Jute Lake is 23 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 16 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Jute Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Jute 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 Jute 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.
