2017 Fishing Contest

In 2017, Cabela's Barrie gave a free seminar at Caribou Lodge on how to fish for rainbow trout.  The seminar was very informative and we really appreciated them taking the time to visit Wood Lake.

 

The participants learned that fishing for rainbow trout requires a much different approach than fishing for pickerel & bass.

Here are a couple of the lures that Cabela's recommended using for rainbow trout.

After the seminar, the WLCA ran a fishing contest with a prize of a fishing tackle bag donated by Cabela's Barrie.  WLCA members entered by submitting photos of any bass, walleye or rainbow trout greater than 10" caught in Wood Lake.
