Woods Pond is a reservoir in Maine, near Cumberland County.
Woods Pond is a pond in Cumberland County, Maine and covers about 462 acres, and a reliable maximum depth was not found, and the recorded storage amount is about 1,350 acre-feet.
Woods Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Woods Pond include brook trout, brown bullhead, brown trout, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, white perch, and yellow perch.
For bass in Woods, use a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait on rock for smallmouth, and fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish in Woods, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed, and fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.
For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Woods, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.
For brown bullheads in Woods, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.
For trout in Woods, try a small spoon, inline spinner, streamer or worm near cool incoming water for brook trout, and use a small minnow plug, spoon or streamer in cool water for brown trout.
For deep-water fish in Woods, use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.
Spring on Woods is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Woods can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Woods, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Woods, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
On Woods, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
A reliable depth number was not found for Woods, so anglers should rely on what they can see and what their lure touches.
On Woods, it shows that a lot of the water sits away from the bank and around the old channel or deep end.
