Earlier this week the IFS completed a fisheries performance assessment on
Woods Lake in the Central Highlands. Brown trout were captured with a mixture of sizes present and many in the 350 – 400 mm range. Older fish were also found up to 600 mm in length cruising the shallower water.

Reports from anglers indicate many fish in the smaller cohort are being caught trolling. The fly angler and anglers spinning from a drifting boat are also being rewarded with above average brown trout in shallower water. The lake is at a high level and the water quality is good.

Once complete, the assessment report will be published on the IFS website.
