Norwich Lake


Friday I fished Norwich Lake in Lyme, CT. It is a small lake (30 acres), located in Nehantic State Park. It was real windy (10-15kts) the day I fished, so I had real hard time fishing. Even the anchor couldn’t hold me in place. I was catching small bass and good sized pickerel fishing the weeds along the shore using a top plug and “creature” bait. Just before dark I caught a 17” bass on the top plug. It is about 20 miles away, but I will go back there, hopefully the weather will be better.

Uncas Lake


I just fished Uncas Lake in Lyme, CT for the first time. After putting my kayak in the water from the launch I fished the west side of the lake. It started out as a shallow rocky bottom, but soon turned into deep (10’+) water with steep banks. There are some weeds in the lake and a lot of submerged trees from the bank, so I hooked my plastic for weedless. The weather was 60 degrees with a 10-15 mph wind coming across the lake, so the conditions were not ideal. I tried my usual assortment of worms without success. Another fisherman on the lake said that he was going home after catching 2 perch. I changed to fluke bait and slowly started to catch fish. I have only fished fluke a handful of times, but it was what they wanted. From 7 – 8pm I found a fluke and a presentation they liked and caught 5 fish. All told, in about 4 hours I caught 7 largemouth from 9 – 13” long. I like the lake and will go back again. It has clean water, good cover for the fish and no motorboats are allowed on the lake.
