Woods Lake offers tent camping and day use. The lake has rainbow, brook, and Lahontan cutthroat trout. Inflated night crawlers or salmon eggs work well. Morning and evening hours are best for the fly angler. I personally like to use an olive or black Woolly Bugge

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
