The local Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries team ran a survey in 2019 and 2020 on Big Muskego Lake in Waukesha County to assess the status of the lake’s fishery while evaluating the size and bag limits implemented as part of the 1996 Big Muskego Rehabilitation Project.
The lake’s maximum depth is 4 feet. It’s the 100-acre Bass Bay that hits 23 feet in depth. Bass Bay is connected to Big Muskego.
