Upper Genesee Lake FishingNRNot rated for water quality
Wisconsin DNR lists Panfish as present on Upper Genesee Lake. In Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Upper Genesee Lake has no letter grade — no water-quality sampling on record for this lake. 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.
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 | Present |
| Largemouth Bass | Present |
| Northern Pike | Present |

Common questions
What fish are in Upper Genesee Lake?
Wisconsin DNR lists Panfish as present on Upper Genesee Lake. Those are survey results, not a catch report: a net set on one date measures what was in that net.
When was Upper Genesee Lake last surveyed?
No survey date is recorded for Upper Genesee Lake beyond the results themselves. Wisconsin DNR publishes the underlying documents, which carry the sampling dates.
Is Upper Genesee Lake stocked?
No stocking record for Upper Genesee 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.
Does the water-quality grade tell me how Upper Genesee Lake 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 Upper Genesee Lake — official chemistry is on file, not a letter. 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.
