Lake Maspenock
Woke up this morning and the weather man said sunny today and rain the rest of the week. I felt sick so decided to call out of work. Amazingly I felt much better right afterwards so I took a trip to Hopkinton and fished Lake Maspenock. Put the Kayak in @ 9am and fished until 10:30. Not a nibble, I could not believe how low the water level was! I have been fishing here for only 2 or 3 season and never seen it like this. Check out the picks and water level marks, docks out of the water. Does anyone fish this lake, is this extremely low? The bite for me seems dead so I think im going to pack it in for the year but continue to Kayak until its to cold!
Tight lines!
That is low. When I went there this spring I was talking to one of the home owners on the water. He said they draw down for docks every year, but every 2-3 years they draw the water down a couple of feet. Probably just one of those years, he said it was to help treatment of invasive plants but Im not sure.
Wow that is really low...did you happen to see any Nestle tanker trucks filling up with water?
I've heard of the drawdowns just never seen it this low. Also without a fish/ depth finder I never realized how shallow that Lake is, big lake. Kind of nice now I see where all the deep spots are !Fish finder for xmas!
Thx for the info
They usually do a water draw down so people who live on the lakes/ponds can get there docks out.
Ya I have fished there since I was young and it is lowest I have ever seen it. By the way I hate that sickness when you are sick until you call in that's the worst. Hopefully you will make a full recovery ;)
Maybe the town or whatever does a water draw down. A lot of lakes this happens to in anticipation of winter flooding.
That's crazy low, like someone pulled the stopper.
