Wiser Lake is a lake in Whatcom County, Washington.
The recorded size of Wiser Lake is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Wiser Lake include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Northern Pikeminnow, Peamouth Chub, Pumpkinseed, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a check of nearby water near the downwind side with light wind, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first pass near a firm-bottom flat away from empty shoreline, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a bright afternoon near a quiet corner under flat light, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During a careful second pass near a quiet corner before changing areas, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a warm summer afternoon near a windblown shore near visible bait, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During the first pass near a quiet corner under flat light, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near the downwind side while the water is falling, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.
During the first pass near a rocky edge before changing depth, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During a low-light period near a protected point near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
