Tokyo Tony Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Hey guys, any of you in NH know any places with open water? I know that all the lakes/ponds are wayyy frozen, but I figure that there should be at least some fishable areas where there's water that moves relatively fast. I know in CT all the rivers/streams are open, but do any of you guys up there catch trout during the winter? And even more importantly, are you ALLOWED to trout fish up there this time of year? I'll be in the Hanover area this weekend and would love to get me some NH trout (smallies would be even better )! Thanks in advance... Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 I know this whole thread is kind of a longshot, but I did find a river, the Pemigewasset River (thanks Google Earth ), that looks like it would be good for fishing. I just want to make sure that it, or rivers like it in the area, aren't frozen before I make the hour drive from Hanover on Saturday... Quote
tree_skierAKAewok Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Does google earth constantly update those views? The views of my house are like 2 years old. I'd call the Town Hall or Dept. of Public Works and ask them. Quote
llPa1nll Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Other than fast moving rivers you are a good month and a half away from any open water. there is always the opening below the powerplant Dam in Bow other than that your SOL. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Well I wasn't able to wake up early enough Sat or Sun to go to those trout rivers I found on Google Earth, but I did fish for a half hour below Wilder Dam, and it was open (except for the floating chunks of ice). Didn't really come close to getting bit, but twice I at least believed that I got a hit (it was a rock). Gave up after losing my Silver Buddy. Oh well : I'll be up there next weekend also so hopefully I'll be able to fish the Pemigewasset (sp?) as long as it stops being zero degrees outside. Quote

Im heading down to Savannah, Ga. to get out of the cold and get my lines wet. Screw this weather... Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks, and good luck to you as well. I'm jealous : By the way, are you taking your rods down, and if so, how are you transporting them? When I went to FL last summer they were gonna charge me $100 each way to transport the rods, which was ridiculous, so I ended up buying a cheapo down there. Quote
