Wisconsin DNR fisheries surveys
Little Hills Lake FishingBWater-quality grade B
Wisconsin DNR lists Panfish as common on Little Hills Lake. In Waushara County, Wisconsin, Little Hills Lake carries an overall water-quality grade of B. Water clarity averages 14.0 feet of visibility, and there is one public boat landing. The survey figures on this page are Wisconsin DNR's own; the water-quality grade comes from EPA Water Quality Portal samples. Neither is a forecast of today's bite.

Before you eat what you catch
A water-quality grade is 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 can grade well and still carry a meal limit on larger predator fish.
