Fish species in Woodruff Narrows Reservoir

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Woodruff Narrows is a Bear River reservoir north of Evanston with fishing for Bear River cutthroat. It has specific public access sites, so check the route before leaving. Yellow perch have different handling rules here from the trout, making identification important before releasing or keeping a fish.

Lake facts

  • Main fish: Bear River cutthroat trout
  • Other fish: Yellow perch have a mandatory-kill provision; check current rules
  • Public facilities: Parking, toilets and one boat ramp
  • Road note: Access roads are not plowed in winter

Where to fish

Use the designated parking and ramp or legal shoreline reached from those accesses. A small trout lure or permitted bait rig is a good starting outfit where you can reach a change in depth. Fishing is allowed on reservoir-company property under the access arrangement, but that doesn't open unrelated private land or roads.

Fishing tips and rules

Read the current rules, including the immediate-kill requirements for perch and nongame fish. Don't assume ordinary catch-and-release applies to every catch. Winter roads and parking aren't plowed, and ice conditions need a local check. During open water, check the level and wind before committing to a boat trip.

Camping and lake access

The public access has parking, toilets and one launch. Camping is limited to 14 days in the access information, with fire and other current restrictions to confirm before staying. A picnic or watching shoreline wildlife fits a day beside the lake. Stay on approved vehicle routes and keep a small-boat trip short enough to return comfortably if wind builds.
