FishingEdit
Woman lake has always been known for its Walleye fishing. The lake also has a very good population of Yellow perch, Northern pike, Largemouth bass and Smallmouth bass, Bluegill, Crappie, and Muskellunge. The lake has excellent water clarity, which makes fishing for the light sensitive walleye difficult during the daytime. The lake is infested with the non-native exotic Rusty crayfish.
