Records held for Snohomish County cover Chinook salmon, pink salmon and Coho salmon. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Woodland Farm Reservoir fishes better once you know its edges.

Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Woodland Farm Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. A parking area is marked roughly half a mile out. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Connor Lake is 2.5 miles distant. Where Woodland Farm Reservoir is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
