Wisconsin DNR fisheries surveys
How abundant each species is
Wisconsin DNR rates abundance from its own survey record rather than publishing a catch rate per species. The ratings below are theirs.
| Species | Abundance |
|---|---|
| Panfish | Common |
| Northern Pike | Common |
| Largemouth Bass | Present |
Stocking at Ucil Lake
No stocking record for Ucil Lake appears in the Wisconsin DNR material on file. That is an absence in the published record, not a confirmation that the lake is unstocked — some waters are managed as naturally reproducing and never appear in a stocking list at all.

Wisconsin DNR lists Panfish as common on Ucil Lake.
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Ucil Lake’s water-quality measurements separately. Catch rate is not a swim clearance and is not a weekly bite report.

Common questions
What fish are in Ucil Lake?
Wisconsin DNR lists Panfish as common on Ucil Lake. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Ucil Lake last surveyed?
No survey date is recorded for Ucil Lake beyond the results themselves. Wisconsin DNR publishes the underlying documents, which carry the sampling dates.
Is Ucil Lake stocked?
No stocking record for Ucil 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 Ucil Lake fishes?
A DNR fisheries survey reports fish abundance and catch rates, not water quality. LakeQuality shows Ucil Lake’s water-quality measurements separately. 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.
