Has anyone ever fished the Greenwoods Reservoir in the UP? I fished it a cple times caught some good size Pike, one 36. Has anyone done any good there?

I fished a decent sized reservoir in the UP almost 30 years ago and that name does sound familiar. Where is this reservoir that you are mentioning.

yes greenwood is quite interesting...a personal favorite of mine....i've taken walleye to 7 1/2 lbs...and they are the deepest black gold in color..the pike are legendary....the crappie grow large..others species are less prominent, but exist in reasonable numbers...once leaving the launch area, scooting behind a point or island..it almost has the feel of a canadian fly-in type lake...we generally hit that body of water a couple of times every year. it has replaced fletchers as our favorite place to hunt inland trophy pike!

Sounds like the one. We were up there on a one week vacation and the launch site was recommended by the local Chamber of Commerce. They even called the DNR while I was in the office and got more info for me. Lot of pike, and nice sized ones. And, the crappie fishing was phenomenal. I caught them right and left, up and down, just non-stop for days on end.

I have been fishing at greenwood a few times and have had marginal sucess for small pike. I have just started trying to target walleye and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on where to fish at greenwood and what baits/lures and patterns to fish. Thanks any advice helps. Happy trails, jake

Greenwood is my FAVORITE UP lake. The pike are great and the walleye are too! Bro in law took 42incher there 4 years ago. I love fishing the lake with smelt under a bobber, and the ever trusty white spinnerbait. Looking forward to getting there this year. Hoping sometime in August or September. I do however think that opening weekend in May is the best, although the weather can be bad then. Just my .02

We'll be there next week, I'll let you know how we do when we get back.
I went ice fishing there in February and caught some average pike and a couple of decent Walleyes.
