1030.0. "TROUT & BASS/SOUTHERN N.H." by MERLAN::LEHANE () Tue Mar 14 1989 13:29

     
    
          I'm looking for some help in finding a few good trout and
    bass fishing ponds in the southern N.H. and northern Mass. area.
       Also does anyone have directions to plugs pond in Haverhill 
    Mass i hear it offers excelent spring trout fishing. Any help  
    would be appreciated very much.

                What's your mail stop? I'll send ya a copy of
     recommended fishing waters for N.H. It covers all of N.H.
    not just the southern part of the state. If you want a copy
    let me know.

1030.2Directions to Plugs and Round pondVICKI::DODIERTue Mar 14 1989 15:0732
    	Plugs Pond Directions from Plaistow -
    
    		Take Rt 125 south into Haverhill. Take a left at Monument
    Square (Rotary with a bronzed ? monument in the middle). Go down this
    road (rt. 110 I think) past the armory to the first light (about a mile
    down). If you take a right at the light and bear to the right, you'll
    see one of the boat ramps to Plugs pond on your left. If you continue 
    further down this road (Mill St.), you'll go up a hill, down the other 
    side of the hill and just after you go through the downhill "S" turn
    take a left and another left and this is the other entrance to Plugs 
    Pond (if you see Boardman St on your left, you went far).
    
    	BTW - If you take a left at the light instead of a right,
    and go down that road about a mile, on your right is Round Pond. Some 
    people prefer this over Plugs pond. Both ponds are (or were) heavily 
    stocked with trout and both also contain bass.

1030.3SALEM::ALLOREAll I want is ONE shot!Wed Mar 15 1989 13:437
               I guess I should clarify. What I have is a list
    of N.H. Fishing waters and where they are located. It isn't
    a map/atlas. It is helpful though in locating new waters to
    fish. I'd love to start at the first one and work right on
    through the list........with my wife's approval of course.

1030.11A little help for Bob!DASXPS::ARUSSELLFISHING SEASON?..GOING,GOING,GONEFri Apr 14 1989 19:3638
         Maybe the following could help those who are looking for fishing
    spots in N.H.
    
    1.) When you purchase a resident or non-resident fishing license
    you should receive/ask for the " N.H.F.& G.D. Freshwater Fishing
    Guide" (blue book). Inside this booklet is a listing of ALL fishing
    waters in N.H., by County. It tells you the name of the lake, pond,
    river or stream, it's size, accessibility, special restrictions and
    species of fish that can be had. Also there is a "key to codes"
    to help identify the different categories and a small map to locate
    the counties. Handy little booklet for the price....FREE! 
    Available where fishing licenses are sold (K-MART, variety stores,etc.)
    
    2.)  You could call or write to the N.H. Fish and Game Dept. for
    your free copy, they'll be glad to send you one (or even some). Why
    not, that's where some of your license fees go towards!! Their address
    and phone number is as follows:
                                     Fish and Game Dept.
    				     2 Hazen Dr.
    				     Concord, N.H. 03301
    				     (603)271-3211 or 271-3421/3422
    
    	If you call them, ask for the other booklet they have called "Where
    to fish in N.H." ( I believe that's the name of it? ) It too has the
    listing of ponds, lakes, etc. and for the same price.
    
    3.) Another good source is the N.H. GAZETEER AND ATLAS which is
    a map of the entire state.... listing roads, lakes, ponds, rivers,
    towns, etc.  COST  $10.95 +/-
    
    Hope this helps

1030.12Good Spots?WJO::COOKShadows Of Another DayThu Jul 06 1989 14:4613
    
    
    Hi!
    
    Does anyone know of some good trout/bass/pickerel spots in
    Southern NH/Northern MA ????  I'm planning a trip this weekend...
    
    Also, if anyone knows of some places in the Nashua area
    for bait and tackle...
    
    Thanks in advance!
    Angela.
    
1030.13hope this helpsWAHOO::LEVESQUEBlack as night, Faster than a shadow...Thu Jul 06 1989 17:0121
 I can help with the southern NH info. 

 Bass, Pickerel, etc can be caught in decent numbers in the Nashua River, 
Merrimack River, Robinson's Pond (Hudson), Pawtuckaway Lake (Nottingham)
and a slew of other places.

 Trout will be tough to catch now since the water's rather warm. You should
still have a chance if you fish the Souhegan River or the Nissitissit River.
But pickens will probably be slim.

 If you have a boat, your choices are better. The Nashua River has a surprising
number of fish in it. Don't eat them, though. :-}

 Good tackle spots are Zyla's (old rt 3 in Merrimack), Merrimack River 
Outfitters (in old post office building in Hudson). JR's Discount on
Daniel Webster Highway also has good prices but a smaller selection.

 Good luck, and report back if you manage to catch any big ones. (or at least
have an amusing story to tell :-)

1030.14HELP!!CECV03::MURCHWed Jul 12 1989 16:3820
      I need some advise.  I really can't read thru all these great
    notes.  I am taking my god-child (7years old) and a friend (9 years
    old) fishing this weekend.  I live in Nashua, N.H.  I would like
    to know of any good places in NH within an hour drive of Nashua, where
    I could take them fishing off shore.  I would like to avoid deep woods
     with swarms of misquitoes.
    
     I have fished several times, using worms.  Is there particularly
    any good lures to purchase for bass?
    
    
     Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I would like to go to a
    place where we could eat the fish. (not just fish for the sport)
    
        Still a beginner,
                  regards,
    
                            Tom
