1364.2"there's a Marina"NAVIER::VALOISFri Mar 23 1990 08:0624
    
     Hi Bob
    
     There is one marina on the north side of the lake where you can
    launch your own boat, and also where you may be able to rent..
    
     The best way to get Info is to get hold of the Bristol P.D. and
    they will be able to fill you in on the Marina name and phone no..
    
     Also, there is one public camp ground around the west side of the
    lake, with a launch, but I'm not sure of the availability at this
    time of the year,(it closes for the winter), this is controlled
    by the Sate, get hold of the N.H. div fish and game, the can give
    you the correct info..
    
     The fishing should be super at the north west side of the lake
    at that time of the year, Rainbows and lakers the rainbows are on
    the top early in the morning, I usually get there at 7:30 to 8:00
    am, that's when the Marina opens, so unless you can camp out, that's
    about the earliest you can get out onto the water..
    
     Good luck !!!!

1364.3Newfound Lake MarinaFAIRWY::WILSONMoe, Larry, Cheese!Mon Mar 26 1990 12:2813
    
    The marina at the north end of Newfound Lake is located in
    East Hebron, and is called (appropriately enough) Newfound
    Lake Marina.  Phone is 603-744-3233.  Last time I was there,
    about 3-4 years ago, they were the only true marina on the 
    lake.  
    
    There was also a small place at the south end of the lake in 
    Bristol that had a launch and rented small outboard powered
    boats and sailboats.  I can't remember the name of the place
    and don't know if they're still in business.

1364.4{ any fish in Newfound NH STRATA::PLETSCHTue Mar 27 1990 06:3210
                       
    Thanks for the info on the Marina. Four of us are going up
    to WINNI for the last week of May. We thought we may try
    Newfound Lake while we were in the area.
    
    We've never fished the area before so we'll see what happens.
    any idea how the fishing is?? I guess we will be going for
    smallies.

1364.5Good lake trout OOTOOL::LAVASHSame as it ever was...Mon Apr 02 1990 14:265
    I've been there twice this year, ice fishing.  Caught one 6lb laker
    and quite a few shorts.

    So it definitely has lakers.

1364.6Squam Lake....#1 for Smallies!!AKOV13::SANSINGIn search of the monster HAUG!Fri Apr 06 1990 15:4015
    Re:.4
    Bob,
    I fish all of the big New Hampshire Lakes and have found that Squam
    Lake produces the best Bass Fishing (smallies). Specifically, in 
    Holderness you can rent a boat from Squam Boats for about $30 a day.
    You can also buy a topo map for $6 which is very useful. A good place
    to look is the back side of Long Island and a place called Diamond
    Ledge. 
    My first try on this lake produced 197 Bass caught in 3 days by 3
    fishermen....ALL fish released to be caught another day!!!
    
    Good Luck....

        A topographic map, will give a good idea of the angles of the
        slops etc above water, and one can usually extrapolate from the
        shore features on the map, where the under water features are
        likely to be...
        
        This brings to mind, several years ago in New Guinea, when we used
        a British Admiralty map, as a road map to find our way into the
        jungle. Several hours later, we looked at our map, and noticed
        that it was based on a survey done in 1910. THis was in
        countryside where, the vegetation would drag your vehicle off the
        road, if you parked for more than a week.  We made our way back,
        though, and were only 300 yards from the Highway again, when we
        bogged our 6 ton 6-wd truck to the axles in the mud... But that's
        another story...
