• Where to Fish on Woodwards Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Fish Woodwards Lake to its features, not to its size. Steep banks mean deep water within a rod length.

  Between January at about 44°F and July at about 80°F, the water has a wide range to work through. The surface stays open the year round. Shade and hour of day matter more than month.
