Coming up to fish April 6-9th where to go?
I am headed up to our place on Meredith bay with a few guys to get some spring fishing in. Are there any launches that will get us into any open water to troll for Salmon? It looks like the Broads side of Welch is open water, where would we launch from to get over there? Is Ames farm ice free. Suggestions please. My whole gang is itching to go fishing!

I saw a report yesterday that there were still bob houses in Saunders Bay and people ice fishing. Web cams are no longer in Alton Bay which is one of the first places to splash a boat but I haven't heard anything encouraging there unless you fish from the docks or bridge. Echo Shores in West Alton looks locked up tight. The Bear Island cams are down though in early March it looked almost iced out there (then it iced back in). Wolfboro has a small section open around the docks. I don't think we will see any boats for the opener and the long range forecast shows above freezing but not by much. We need to start getting 50s and 60s, some strong wind and maybe some more rain to get this moving. I would guess you are less than 50% to be on the water next weekend.

Parking early season can be a challenge due to all the winterized boats in the yard. Use common sense when parking and don't block any boats in or the ramp/turn around area. The usual parking area is typically loaded with winterized boats until they splash them. You leave your ramp fee in an envelope at the small building on the way in (envelopes in a box to the left of the door). |

How about Ellacoya?
Is Ellacoya open to boat launches? Someone posted a picture of a fishing boat out near Welch and speculated they may have gone in at Ellacoya?!?

Ellacoya launch successful
We had two good days of fishing launching from Ellacoya. Just make sure you have a good 4 wheel drive truck. I had my F150 in up to the tailpipe to get a launch and retrieval. Saturday was a bust with too much wind and three foot sea state. Sunday was the pick of the weekend and it yielded this beautiful 22" 4lb. Spring Salmon. Right up near the surface on a tandem streamer.

Pemi Lake
I have great luck on Pemi lake. Depends on if you want to fish for dinner or for fun... Good bites to the left of the boat launch (Horse shoe entrance; plenty of room to back in/park) and towards the far end of the lake on the New Hampton side. Good luck!
