1077.0. "Any trout yet?" by WILKIE::SALERNO () Mon Apr 03 1989 18:09

    Anybody been trout fishing in So. NH streams and rivers? 
    
    Any luck? 
    
    I don't think NH has stocked yet, the fish and game dept. 
    said "the water is still to cold, it must be 45 degrees 
    before we stock". 
    
    I know I got shut out Sunday without a bite.

1077.2Toooo Soooon!AKOV13::SANSINGDefinition of Courage=DODGERSTue Apr 04 1989 09:4711
    I was out at daybreak Sunday morning April 2nd at my favorite
    spot on the Souhegan River in Wilton. I was hoping that Fish & Game
    had stocked on Saturday April 1st.
    Two hours of fishing with spinners and salmon eggs, but alas not
    a single bite. The water is still too cold....So I went home, jumped
    into my canoe and fished the pond out my backdoor. Casting with
    a rapala floating perch minnow I caught a 2 1/2 LB. Chain Pickeral.
    That made up for the lack of trout!!

1077.3isn't it still closed season for lakes???JANVAX::NERLSummer Blues and Striper HunterWed Apr 05 1989 14:509
    re: .2 
    
    I thought that trout fishing in lakes/ponds is closed in NH till
    April 22?  Is there some unwritten law that I don't know about?
    I've been hearing about other people fishing lakes already.  What's
    the story?
    
    			still waiting....

    Right the season opens 4/22 for designated trout ponds.
    
    Streams and brooks and non-designated ponds are open 1/1-10/15

    Does that mean that any ponds/lakes not listed in the NH Fishing
    Guide (blue book) is a "non-designated" pond?

    I'll confirm that. I hooked a couple of nice brookies in Milford
    last night. Didn't fish to long as it was cold and windy. Wait till
    this weekend!!!

1077.9Spinney and 11 Mile are openCSC32::G_ROBERTSFri Apr 14 1989 13:356
	11 Mile and Spinney are open.  Caught and released a mix of
	7 'bows, salmon, and browns in the 12" to 19" range before
	catching a keeper at Spinney.  Early morning was hot action.
	Caught a few more in the afternoon that were released.  Saw
	a few in the 10# range.

	These are lakes in South Park, central Colorado.  Trolling with
	rapalas caught me another 24" 6# brown last weekend.  Had a big
	rainbow on, but lost it at the net.

    Anybody know if they've started stocking in southern NH yet?  If
