Fischer Lake

Langlade County, WisconsinLimited DataOligotrophic

Fischer Lake sits at the top of the Wisconsin DNR grading rubric with an A, a mark reached by the cleanest lakes in Wisconsin. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.

A TSI value of 35 puts Fischer Lake in the oligotrophic range, where biological productivity stays low and the water column remains clear. The lake's maximum depth is not yet documented in state morphometric records — context for its physical structure remains limited. The lake is compact at 23 acres, with partial shoreline records and little volume to buffer nutrient inputs. Fischer Lake sits at rank 18 of 32 in Langlade County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

Fischer Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2021, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The fishery is bass-led, with 2 documented species across the lake's records. Monitoring depth is thin here: the LakeGrade rubric is applied to a small number of sample years, and the grade will be revised as more data accumulates.
