fisher lake facts

Fisher Lake is part of a three-lake chain. It is connected to Catherine Lake by a culvert and to Cedar Lake via the Turtle River. All are accessible by small motor boat, or for a great wilderness experience, take a canoe. Fisher and Catherine lakes are large, quality lakes, with very few houses. Cedar Lake is mostly state owned. Fishing, waterskiing, swimming, sailing, and paddling are superb on Fisher Lake.

Fisher Lake has a maximum depth of 21 feet and is an excellent resource with size, depth, structure and great cover. Originally, this chain of lakes was a logging grounds. After Shay Dam was built and the lakes created, old logs, rocks and boulders and ground holes remained which created the natural habitat for the fish harvested each year by anglers. The state rates walleye, largemouth bass, northern pike, muskie and panfish has “common.” Smallmouth bass are present. Muskie can achieve trophy size with 50-inchers documented in recent years.


The northern highland state forest is located across the lake, with excellent hiking, hunting and fishing on two wilderness hike-in lakes.
