Whatcom County’s Wiser Lake is located about 8 miles north of Bellingham. It covers about 123 surface acres, is mostly shallow in depth and lies at an elevation of 50 feet. The lake is actually in two segments connected by a narrow under Highway # 539. I fished this lake from a canoe with Son Don and we both caught nice sized largemouth bass. Fish species include rainbow trout, largemouth bass, perch and catfish. Public access is provided by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Bob Johansen
