Wisconsin Lakes Information

 
 

 

Wisconsin Fishing

 

The following information was taken from a publication made by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
and is intended to help you find places to fish in their great state. They have four different types of lakes in the state,
which are Drainage Lakes, Seepage Lakes, Spring Lakes and Drained Lakes. There are different species of fish
in these lakes and the species vary from lake to lake in availability. Fish from about 600 of these lakes are tested
to measure the amounts of mercury in the fillets. Information for these lakes is available from the Department of
 Natural Resources or we will share the information we have with you if you would like to e-mail us with your request.
Since there are so many lakes in the state, we are building pages for each of the counties to allow you to have the
information at your fingertips with a minim of scrolling. Some of the counties will require scrolling due  to the amount
 of lakes in them. Please check the list  below for the counties and look for the links as we will be adding them as
the information is available. We will not be listing all the lakes,  but will show the names lakes that we have the
 species of fish in them available.
