Common questions

What fish are in Imogene Lake?

Wisconsin DNR lists Largemouth Bass as common on Imogene Lake. Wisconsin DNR lists 3 species for the lake in total. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.

When was Imogene Lake last surveyed?

No survey date is recorded for Imogene Lake beyond the results themselves. Wisconsin DNR publishes the underlying documents, which carry the sampling dates.

Is Imogene Lake stocked?

No stocking record for Imogene Lake appears in the Wisconsin DNR material on file. That is not the same as a confirmed unstocked lake: it means no stocking document was published for it in the records this page draws on.

Do the water-quality readings tell me how Imogene Lake fishes?

A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Imogene Lake’s water-quality measurements separately, and the water-quality trend over 7 years of monitoring is stable. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.

Before you eat what you catch

Water-quality readings are not a consumption advisory. Mercury and PCB advice for Wisconsin waters comes from WI DNR/DHS, and it is issued per species and per size class: a lake with clear, low-nutrient water can still carry a meal limit on larger predator fish.
