Ice Out … Fishing In

While true spring-like weather has not yet arrived in the Monadnock Region, the region’s lakes, ponds and streams are in warm-weather mode. The ice is gone … and spring fishing is about to come into season.

Fishing can happen year-round in New Hampshire – there is an active winter/ice fishing community in the state – but the number of fish you can catch and seasons for particular species, such as trout, vary. So make sure you check the NH Fish & Game website for all the rules. They have a handy full-color flipbook magazine for all you need to know about fishing in the state.

Once you get the rules and regs down, and buy your fishing license at N.H. Fish & Game offices statewide or online, or at selected stores around the state, you’ll be ready to grab your pole and start fishing in the Monadnock Region.

And where are the fish biting in the Monadnock Region? Here’s The List

But local fishing lore narrows down the list considerably … some of the best fishing spots include Laurel Lake in Fitzwilliam, Granite Lake in Nelson, Silver Lake in Nelson (best for trout), Nubanusit Lake in Nelson, Robin Hood Park Reservoir in Keene, Thorndike Pond in Jaffrey and Willard Park in Antrim.

Where’s your favorite fishing spot in the Monadnock Region? Let us know!
