Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey

Fish population survey

Structured LakeList extraction from the 2025 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.

Management contextLake-specific comprehensive survey using 40 fyke net-nights, early-spring marking and recapture electrofishing, and late-spring electrofishing with separate 4.2-mile gamefish and 1.7-mile panfish efforts.

DNR found a stocking-supported adult-walleye density above its fishable-population target, moderate pike and bass abundance with strong size, and moderate but small panfish.

  • The report covers Wazeecha Lake in Wood and Portage counties; migration targets the exact queue LakeList row in Wood County by WBIC/name/county.
  • The narrative says 311 bluegills while Table 5 says 312; the conflicting electrofishing catch count is excluded.
  • Gear/event catch counts remain separate and overlapping mark-recapture samples are not summed into a population count.
  • Historical 2010 rates and stocking releases are context, not current survey metrics.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Wazeecha Lake?

Wazeecha Lake is 20 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 8 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Wazeecha Lake?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Wazeecha 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 Wazeecha 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.
