New Wood Flowage

New Wood Flowage is a reservoir in Lincoln County and the published measurements are about 17 acres and a maximum depth of 7 feet, and that is plenty of context for deciding how much of the water you can realistically cover.

What this lake is like

I would rather learn one piece of this water than rush through ten with the first real effort focused on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.

What swims here

I do not have enough solid fish data for New Wood Flowage to name a target with confidence; that keeps the page honest, even if it means there is less to say right now, and before i start changing directions every ten minutes.

A simple way to approach it

For an uncomplicated day on New Wood Flowage, I would fish what is in front of me instead of trying to make the lake match an old report, then I would double-check seasons and limits because the fish list on this page is not the rule book.
