Fisher Lake, Florence County - Dewit2it - 04-19-2006
Seems this thread got cut in the crash, so I'm restarting it.
Has anyone dove this lake?
From the mapbook put out by Sportsman's Connection, it says the lake contains a derailed train in deep water.(locomotive and cars) I Google Earthed the lake, and it looks like there is a train bridge crossing the lake right near one of the deepest spots in the lake. (Southeast corner)
Lake specs have medium brown water with a 5' secchi disk reading, with a max depth of 42'. Bottom is 75% sand, 24% gravel, 1% rubble. Fish life is northern, largemouth, trout, and panfish. The boat launch looks to be on the far end of the lake.
The viz doesn't sound too good, but it might be interesting.

Stopped at Fisher Lake yesterday on the way back from diving the Crystal Falls area.
Walked the abandoned railway line on the South side of the lake looking for an area where a train could have gone in.
Need more information on this. Is there any out there?
