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.
BLUEGILL, PUMPKINSEED, LARGEMOUTH BASS, SMALLMOUTH BASS, ROCK BASS, NORTHERN PIKE AND BROWN BULLHEAD ARE ABOVE STATE & LOCAL MEDIANS FOR NET CATCHES. YELLOW PERCH, WALLEYE AND BLACK CRAPPIE ARE BELOW LOCAL MEDIANS. PANFISH APPEAR TO BE STUNTED.
