bass in northern NH?

[badcrawdad]

Gonna be spending the weekend near Errol in a couple weeks. Anyone know where there is a ny good small mouth fishing in the area. I know there is trout fishing but I'd rather fish for bass.

Thanks

Umbagog is definitely the place to go, absolutely beautiful lake and great smallie fishing.  My parents took me there every year when I was a kid, now I put together a yearly guy's fishing week with my dad and a couple of my uncles.  The place has barely changed since I first went up there, almost 25 years ago.

You can launch in the magalloway river or at the southern part of the lake at the state ramp. If you're fishing out of a canoe or kayak the river is the way to go. If you've got a bigger boat the ramp is in great shape.  The better fishing in my opinion is the northern part of the lake, closer to where the Magalloway and Andrescoggin rivers dump in.  If you're in a smaller boat, just keep your eye on the weather, it can change in a instant and can get pretty nasty.
