| 1629.1 | Watch out for those rocks | SALEM::JUNG | | Wed Jun 19 1991 09:11 | 7 |
| I don't think you'll score any Trouts. Bass, picks and perch
probably will be plentiful. I see ALOT of ice fishing going
on in the winter time. Not much fishing pressure on the lake.
Let me know how you make out...might be interesting!

| 1629.2 | There were rainbows in canobie | DELNI::OTA | | Wed Jun 19 1991 10:21 | 8 |
| I fished canobie several years ago and it was loaded with rainbows. It
was funny when we pulled into a small cove some kids fishing on shore
told us they were catching their limits on rainbows. We thought they
were just mistaken till all of us caught our limits.
so there are trout in there.

| 1629.3 | Doubt the trout... | SALEM::ALLORE | All I want is ONE shot..well maybe 2 | Wed Jun 19 1991 10:37 | 16 |
| Yes, there used to be rainbows in Canobie. But the
state quit stocking after the town of Windham closed the public
boat ramp. You may get lucky and catch a very old hold over but
your chances are slim. Anyway, it does have a good population
of crappie, SM and LM, and the ever present perch and sunfish.
Not much structure, but fish the weeds that you can find and the
drop offs. You should do okay.
Oh yeah, if you do want to put a boat in, just go to
the Windham launch, put in your boat, then have your partner
drive over to the Salem side and park in the parking lot that the
town put in. You motor over there and pick him/her up and you're
in!
Good luck,
Bob

| 1629.4 | go before they draw the lake down | DONMAC::MACINTYRE | Terminal Angler | Wed Jun 19 1991 12:06 | 7 |
| The launch is LOW in the fall. I tried launching there last fall and
backed my toyota 4x4 1/2 way across the lake and never saw 2 feet of
water. Ok, I may be exagerating a little...but we gave up.
I assume it's ok before they draw the lake down.
-donmac - who'd like to go after some of them canobie crappie sometime...

| 1629.5 | Sounds like any trout will be BIG | VICKI::DODIER | Food for thought makes me hungry | Wed Jun 19 1991 12:40 | 12 |
| re: last few about ramp/rocks
I'll be fishing it from my canoe so this shouldn't be an issue. I
figured I'd put in at the pumping station and take it from there.
Right now they're calling for thunderstorm Friday so I'll have to
see what the weather brings. We were planning on fishing for bass the
first couple of hours and trout right around sunset. I'm hoping to get
some top-water action but I'll probably throw gitzits/worms/jigs if
that doesn't work.
Thanks for the input........RAYJ

| 1629.6 | small jigs will work on the crappie | DONMAC::MACINTYRE | Terminal Angler | Wed Jun 19 1991 13:22 | 10 |
| you may want to consider those crappie rayj, i know you like to eat
fish, if you haven't tried crappie, you should, they're great!
-donmac
ps: caught a big white perch up at winni a couple weeks ago, hit
a bomber long topwater while smallie fishing... didn't have a scale
but it was between 2-3lbs easy... made the ones i've caught out of
the lamprey look real small... but they're all tastey...

| 1629.7 | But, you never know | SALEM::JUNG | | Thu Jun 20 1991 07:35 | 10 |
| I haven't fished Canobie this year but have fished other local
lakes. The Trout are deep right now so I wouldn't spend to much
time working the surface. By deep, I mean between 10 - 20 feet
over 35 or so feet of water. Have had my best days right on the
bottom in about 25 feet of the wet stuff. Don't do much Bass'in
so I can't help you there. I heard the weather for Friday is going
to be real nice and like that right through the weekend.

| Concerning Don and the Toyota...I backed him in and boy was it weird to
see 100' of water between the front of the truck and the ramp...
