North East Flooding

[Backwoodsbasser]

I had a great day Saturday pulling Largies out from behind the overflow dam at beave lake in derry. Sunday Monday I have gotten skunked and in wondering if all the rain and rising water has changed up my pattern. Will the high water have an effect on spawning. Wht do you guys do in constant rainfAll and high/rising water?

(RI reporting) The rise in water has definitely changed things up.  The baitfish and fry are now scattered about, especially with these cloudy days we are still having.  

 

Fish baits that can get back to that flooded shoreline,...flukes, things like that. The smaller fish are rampaging back there but so are the pickerel.  We are finding the bigger fish are taking advantage of the flooded grass islands that have deep water nearby.  

 

With everything spread out, you want to cover water too.  Search baits like spinnerbaits, cranks etc can get it done but don't forget to toss a subtle topwater over some of the areas that are usually too skinny to fish, twitch, twitch, BANG!

 

catch 'em up!

This rain/flooding is killing my fishing. Well not completely im still doing well out of my yak but my shore fishing is in the dumps. I fish the Wachusett Res a lot. Its a shallow shore anyways so with the shoreline up 10' feet its tough to fish. Also getting around the lake is next to impossible. d**n!
