Lake Information

Nestled within the scenic landscapes of the district, Back Bay stands as a sprawling expanse of natural beauty, encompassing over 25,000 acres of pristine waterways and tranquil shores. As the largest body of water in the region, Back Bay offers a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and anglers alike, teeming with a diverse array of saltwater and brackish water species waiting to be discovered. One of the highlights of Back Bay's vibrant ecosystem is its bountiful population of white perch and channel catfish, which provide anglers with ample opportunities for a rewarding fishing experience. At certain times of the year, the bay yields impressive catches of these sought-after species, with citation-worthy channel catfish often making an appearance in the tributary creeks during the spring spawning season. In addition to its prized saltwater catches, Back Bay boasts a wealth of freshwater species within its network of creeks and tributaries. Largemouth bass, renowned for their tenacity and spirited fights, can be found in the freshwater creeks feeding into the bay, offering anglers the chance to test their skills against these formidable game fish. Crappie and bluegill are also abundant, adding to the diversity of angling opportunities available throughout the bay. While the vast expanse of Back Bay may seem daunting to some, bank fishing opportunities are available in select tributary creeks, providing anglers with convenient access to prime fishing spots along the water's edge. Whether casting a line from the tranquil shores or exploring the winding creeks by boat, visitors to Back Bay are treated to a wealth of outdoor adventures amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature's playground.
