I have been here 5 times and always find the good spot for fishing and playing. Trout was stocked every week that include rainbow trout and tiger trout. Hard to take a bite in summer but I like to enjoy the fresh air while fishing. Kids can fishing green sunfish or catch crayfish. Parking may be hard in weekend and boating rental is first com first serve.
Woods canyon is my favorite place to get away from the city. You can camp, rent cabins near by, Great fishing at woods canyon and any body of water or stream near by just an awesome spot! If you are looking for a limit of trout bring size 14 or 16 treble hooks, chartreuse garlic power bait and fish from the bottom with a Carolina rig or a split shot or something. Use 2 to 6 lb line and you will catch some fish.
