About this gauge

Readings come from USGS monitoring location 05428000, LAKE MENDOTA AT MADISON, WI, 2.6 miles from the centre of Lake Mendota. It reports gage height and reservoir elevation. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.

Full water report

Fish Club protects exact catch locations by default. Records show the waterbody — never an angler's GPS pin.

Anglers must hold a valid fishing license for the state they're fishing. Always follow your local fishing rules and regulations. Handle fish with speed and care: wet hands, minimal air time, quick release.
