Wisconsin DNR fisheries surveys

Mead Lake Nb Test Site FishingNRNot rated for water quality

Wisconsin DNR rates Largemouth Bass as abundant on Mead Lake Nb Test Site. In Clark County, Wisconsin, Mead Lake Nb Test Site has no letter grade — the only measurement available is water clarity, which is not a water-quality indicator on its own — EPA's National Lakes Assessment does not grade clarity. Water clarity averages 2.0 feet of visibility, and the lake has public access. 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.

Common questions

What fish are in Mead Lake Nb Test Site?

Wisconsin DNR rates Largemouth Bass as abundant on Mead Lake Nb Test Site. Wisconsin DNR lists 5 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 Mead Lake Nb Test Site last surveyed?

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

Is Mead Lake Nb Test Site stocked?

No stocking record for Mead Lake Nb Test Site 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.

Does the water-quality grade tell me how Mead Lake Nb Test Site fishes?

A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not a water-quality grade. LakeQuality does not assign an A–F grade on Mead Lake Nb Test Site — official chemistry is on file, not a letter, and the water-quality trend over 5 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

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.
