Little Bass Lake

Little Bass Lake carries a solid B grade — strong on most parameters, with measurements that hold up well across the summer season. High phosphorus is the leading drag on the score — likely from upland agriculture, lawn runoff, or in-lake sediment release.

A TSI near 46 places Little Bass Lake in the mesotrophic band — moderate productivity, with seasonal swings between clearer spring water and richer late-summer conditions. The lake's maximum depth is not yet documented in state morphometric records — context for its physical structure remains limited. The lake's surface area is not consistently recorded across state datasets — physical context remains partial. Little Bass Lake sits at rank 53 of 77 in Polk County, in the lower half of the local distribution.

Little Bass Lake has no invasive species recorded in Wisconsin state databases as of 2023, though prevention practices still apply at all access points. The state fisheries records do not list documented species for Little Bass Lake, which usually reflects a lack of formal fisheries survey work rather than an empty lake. 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.
