    I fished there June 1988 with a friend, we each had our own boats
    - Crawdads.
    
    Its very pretty. Supposed to have trout but we did not catch any.
    Worms or spinning. 
    
    No motors of any kind allowed.
    
    For trout fishing (worm/spinning/trolling) I would recommend either
    Perch Pond in Campton or Spectacle Pond just north west of Newfound
    Lake. Access directions in Clarks or the NH Atlas & Gazetteer. Both
    these locations are a little farther south than Russell Pond.

1188.2Tourists FisherySALEM::DAUTEUILwho needs love to have any fun?Fri Jul 21 1989 09:269
    
     This pond seems to get heavy fishing pressure,it is part of
    the state campground.I was up there Memorial Day and several
    guys had their limit.Seemed like it was just stocked.I figure
    its stocked several times during the summer to keep the
    tourists happy.It is a nice looking pond,wonder if theres
    any holdovers?

1188.3Trout taken earlyHAZEL::DELISLETue Aug 01 1989 10:009
    
    
    	I've camped there a few times with a scout troop and have seen
    a few trout taken early in the season, (cold water and just stocked
    I imagine).  There is a lot of traffic around the lake because of
    the State park business.  It is a beautiful lake though.  Have fun.

    I have fished there many times and only pulled small trout out (9"), 
    and very early A.M. at that.
