Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.

The cisco, pumpkinseed and crappie populations have declined since the 1974 survey. Northern pike abundance has increased; populations of other fishes have remained stable.
