sorry guys wicked busy. if you guys want to update your own totals feel free. your name -- #1 = ??.? inch #2 = ??.? inch total = ???.?? up to 5 fish ... then you start to cull the smallest. I will check in when i can , usually too tired, just wicked busy. would rather spend any free time outside instead of on computer. but not much free time last week or this week. i will tally them when i can.

i only know of Witches Spring brook to get in,It is off of N Hollis rd, then out the other end of the pond which leads to behind behind the Church.

nev 19'' 21'' einscodek 20'' lonewolf 20'' nice work guys

Nev 21'' , 19'' einscodek 20''

einscodek -- This is a 1x6 with a yard stick (3 bucks total) -- for Bass around here 24 inch long is probably all you need. I have a couple pickerel over 27 inch and i typically will measure them so this one is longer. I also have a 36 incher for Pike fishing. you could also use a 1x4 to make it a little smaller. I now use different color lines at the 1/2 inch marks to make it easier.

19 " 21 " Beaver pond in Hollis carried the kayak in , about 15 minutes to get to the water. Last time i went i had a dozen , with the biggest about 18 inch. today only 5 fish ... 2 at 15 inch 1 at 16 in then 19 and 21

Let me ask you Nashua River anglers, do you prefer parking at Mill Pond and fish north or parking atTilton Road and fishing south?. To answer simpy--- Stellos dam up past Tilton st a bit. to answer more completly... There are a few places to fish the Nashua river. And there are 3 parts of the river. I call it the upper and the lower, and the end. the upper part Starts above the dam right behind Stellos staduim and goes up river to Hollis Runnels bridge where it gets to rocky to go any further by boat. --- you can keep going just not by boat. You go left from the awesome ramp they made and up river just a bit you will pass the Tilton st ramp. I fish mainly between Stello and a little past the Tilton st ramp. I only have trolling motor. To my knowledge there is no other boat access on this upper part unless you know someone or are part of the Lone Pine club. (There are many private places to launch) If you are parking at the Hockey rink you are at Mill pond ,It is fed water from a culvert under the pump house way left. This pump house is accessed from the Stellos dam Completely straight across from the dirt access to the right of the hockey rink is the man made canal that ends at Pine Street extension over in downtown Nashua area. It actually goes under ground thru a huge pipe system, under clocktower buildings and dumps back into the lower part of the Nashua river behind the Building. What i call the lower part of the Nashua river is accessed at 2 places i now of. Behind Clocktower buildings is Technology way. You need written permission to use this access. (it is easy to get written permission). You can use a trailer and a decent size bass boat here very easily. You can also launch a canoe ,kayak , jon boat off of Front st. (you must carry it to the water about 75 feet.) This lower part ends at the top of the dam at Margaritas on Main st. if you go the other way it will lead you way up and back to the bottom of the dam at Stellos. you can go almost all the way with a small boat and motor. the End of the river starts at the bottom of the dam at Margaritas and ends where it dumps into the Merrimack river. As far as fishing the areas go. The upper part for me has been mainly largemouth and pickerel, with a few smallmouth. I fish mainly between the dam and a little past the Tilton ramp. This time of year i am fishing weeds, grass and lily pads. It takes a long time to learn a river, and then when you learn it, next year it is different. The lower part i out in at Technology way ramp. I have only fished it once this year (with Shane) 1 largemouth and a few small smallies. There is some major work going on in this area with the new circumferential highway going in. Last year they lowered the river to replace the dam at Margaritas and it screwed everything all up. 2 years ago it was mainly smallmouth. The end part past Margaritas i have not fished this year. Last year sucked with the lowered water. the year before was decent with a few smallies over 2 1/2 lbs but mostly 1 - 2 lbers. Best luck fishing here was when the water was moving the slowest and fishing around the lower part of the dam near Margarittas and down river about 100 yards. Also the area right where it dumps into the Merrimack. Accessed from the Merrimack river by boat or from shore near where they are doing all the construction at the Hudson bridge.

Assuming same rules as past months. clear pic of fish head to tail on clear marked ruler. lets see some big August fish. Starting this for Jitterbug and he in charge as this is his fantastic idea. Sounds like he is having some computer problems and is wicked busy also. Top 5 fish with total length. lets see some culling , who is going to dethrone Mainebass with his beautiful VT fish

I will start a new thread for August. I will assume same rules as July. but really its Jitterbugs thread. Sound like his computer has been down and he has been wicked busy too. Nate , i will send you out a small trophy package, i have your address, Guys lets see some big August tanks.

Bassin nice tanker , i would have guessed it much bigger, i would get a new scale. Nice fish out of Mill pond also, keep hitting that place and you will find some real winners.

Its now August, I did not officially add them up but it looks like Maine did it again this month. I will be back fishing in another week or so. Been playing hockey every morning for 3 weeks, and only getting out a bit. Plans have me playing all next week also. Nice work Nate.

dragged /carried my yak here thru the woods out in Hollis this morning. Took about 20 minutes or so to get to this water. Thousands of Bees buzzing in the lilly pads, the noise was driving me nuts. other than that not a sound except for an occasional something in the woods, deer,bear,moose , turkey etc... That and the fish riping apart at my white snagproof mouse. 14 total the 2 biggest at 19 inch. not enough to catch Maine for July contest.

If you put the time in at Mill pond you will find some good sized fish. Cross all the way to the far end , as far away from the launch as you can get, there are a few drops and deeper spots with some underwater trees , stumps or something. If the weed , milfoil ? crap was not so thick many more people would fish it. Because of that , although it gets much bank fishing , it really does not get that much pressure. If you take the time to figure that place out , you will see it holds some really good sized fish. I dont fish it enough. Most of my buddies hate fishing it because of the weeds crap and they wont go. which is fine. if you are not enjoying fishing this way then you should be going somewhere else. and thats what they do. I will usually fish it many times early on in the year before the sunlight and heat make it grow so thick. Shane called it a salad bowl a couple years ago when he came down and fished it. and it most certainly is. dont be surprised if you pull a meaty 7+ or even an 8 out of it. If you take the time and lots of patience will probably be required. it could bring you a really nice trophy pic. I am betting when you find the big ones they will not be at the shore line. they will be on some deeper structure chomping on some bigger baitfish.

mill river ? do you mean the canal ? where are you putting in?

You can fix those yaks with fiberglass as well, thats what i used on the seams of mine. better than new. some of you boatless guys should jump on these yaks.

For Bow Lake I have had good luck to the far left from the launch side. the small part of the lake has a small channel , thru that channel and around in that whole area, between and around those islands, the 4 or 5 docks before you go thru the channel , and after you go thru the channel in all the rocky areas, bring extra anchors. also it can get a little rough if the wind picks up. I have not been able to fish much of the big part of the lake,

Went to NHTI pond yesterday for 2 hours. Concentrated only on the right side of the pond from where i dragged the kayak in. Fished this thick stuff for the whole time. first i ate these, at the weathervane having dinner with my boys. then i fished. 13 fish total most between 16 and 18 inch. some as small as 12" had some bites that seemed bigger but could have just been heavy weeds making them seem bigger. also lost several in the weeds. I think i need a faster reel to get the fish on top of the water and keep them from diving back down. 40lb braid with 30 lb leader , all on greenish db craw w/big heavy keel weighted hook (Thank You Shane) or purple /blue flake rubber worm (regular hook rigged weedless ) casted high and using the power of the drop to pop thru the pads and weeds.

Nice jobs out there guys. Keep plugging away einscodek, you will find them. I have not been able to find the bigger ones either this month. I hope to get back out next Wed.

post those in the July post

Thank You Mike2841 i recieved the jigs in the mail, i will put them to good use and Thank You Shane for the bugs and craws, they also will get put to good use, possibly with the new seibert jigs, Lets gets some big July girls

For those of you not familiar with these books this is what they look like, they are awesome. The Clarks book you can find in a bunch of places, County stores Milford is where i got my new one. this green colored cover one is from 2009 i believe. i just gave away my original one from 1984. also , i like this book as well. it does not have as many as many as the clarkes book but has a nice list of places
