Common questions

What fish are in Outlet To Lake Geneva?

Wisconsin DNR rates Smallmouth Bass as abundant on Outlet To Lake Geneva. Wisconsin DNR lists 6 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 Outlet To Lake Geneva last surveyed?

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

Is Outlet To Lake Geneva stocked?

No stocking record for Outlet To Lake Geneva 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 Outlet To Lake Geneva fishes?

A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not a water-quality grade. LakeQuality grades Outlet To Lake Geneva D from EPA Water Quality Portal chemistry, and the water-quality trend over 2 years of monitoring is improving. 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.
