Fish species in Woodland Lake

Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) is a reservoir in Morris County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake), so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Woodland Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake), the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Woodland Lake

Fish reported from Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake), a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake).

Chain Pickerel

For Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Woodland Lake

Compare one protected bank with one windblown bank before deciding which side deserves the afternoon on Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake). Then compare the incoming-water end of Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Woodland Lake

On Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake), spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake) is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Woodland Lake (Morris County, northeast of Crestmere Lake), revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
