I’ll get one more session in Back Bay next week before leaving New England. ![]() I took my shirt off and enjoyed the paddle back across the bay to camp. No day to Back Bay is complete without some pumpkinseeds. The yellow perch.įinally I nailed a pretty little chain pickerel. Hiding in the lily’s was another species for the day. I changed flies to a flash fly streamer for the pickerel. This is the first black crappie I’ve ever caught in Back Bay. He’s small but he counts – largemouth bass. The rock bass of Lake Winnipesaukee come way too easy. Here’s how I made out starting with a 13” smallmouth bass. I went back and forth with the big popper on the 6 and a Chernobyl Ant on my 4. ![]() The largemouth didn’t happen so eventually I broke the ice with my 4 and landed several of these broad bodied bluegills. I popped a Ben Byng popper for a half hour hoping for a nice largemouth bass on my 6 to start. I had my 4- and 6-weight rigged and ready. Nonetheless it was a pleasant trip across Wolfeboro Bay amongst the loons that I listen to each night. The skies were deep gray and I could smell the rain. I say before noon because there was big rain in the afternoon forecast. I packed my Yeti along with my 4-weight and 6-weight Winston’s and paddled to Back Bay to see how many species I could catch before noon. I took on a little more sleep then finally got up at 6. To head out in the canoe this early I need perfect calm conditions. It was a windy one at 4:15 AM when I sat up from my sleeping bag on the camps porch this morning.
