Headed up to fish Birch Creek Saturday.Couldn't four-wheel into the spot we were two weeks ago so we tackled the climb up the dam.To our dismay the algae blooms were worse than our last trip up.Fished about three hours with zero results.Tried worms under a bubble and even tied on one of my high$$ pointers.Had two chase my pointer on different casts but no takers.After that we drove over to Woodruff and fished with worms and it was game on.As long as the sun was covered with some clouds the fish were taking it every cast.We caught fifteen cutt's between two of us.No lunkers...all were brothers between 12-14 inches.We were going to fish the outlet creek at Woodruff but the lake kept us well occupied.If you go...fish right off the dam on the far corner near the rock wall.Again....keep the outlet at Woodruff in mind if you head up!

Thanks for the report. I haven't heard one from either of those places in a long time!

Just curious, where is Birch Creek/Woodruff?
[signature]
Both lakes are over the east side of Monte Cristo on Hwy 39.If you're heading east from Ogden Birch creek is on the left side of the road and Woodruff is off the right side.Birch Creek is about a mile off the hwy on a dirt road and Woodruff is about 4-5 miles back in on a good dirt road.Hope this helps.

Yes it does, thanks.

I know where the Birch Creek turnoff is. About how far away is the Woodruff turnoff from the Birch Creek turnoff? I've looked for it a few times on my way to Bear Lake, but have not noticed any signs.

I don't think there is a sign.After you pass the Birch Creek turnoff heading east there is a dirt road that cuts off to your right.This is no more than a mile past the B Creek road.It's a well traveled dirt road so it's not hard to find.Are you heading up to fish it soon? If so and you have an aluminum boat there's a good gravel "ramp" you can launch from.I think trolling Woodruff with Rapala's would tear'em up.Also..lots of pretty colors on the upper end of the lake to look at.Post a report if you go!

I'm driving by there today on my way to Bear Lake. I'll look for it.
Thanks!
