• Overview

  The Randolph County entry here is Woods Lake Number Two, in North Carolina. Around the bank it is oak and grass. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Asheboro lies 8.6 miles from the water. It is 16 miles to High Point, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Woods Lake Number Two

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. County-wide records name bluegill, redbreast sunfish, green sunfish, piedmont darter and redear sunfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Woods Lake Number Two the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 78°F on average, January about 39°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It sets the rhythm of the year at Woods Lake Number Two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Woods Lake Number One, 0.2 miles out. Treat Woods Lake Number Two as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
