1453.0. "Fishing/Canoeing in Goffstown, NH Area?" by BCSE::DESHARNAIS () Tue Jul 10 1990 11:05

    I've search this notes file for something specifically in my area, but
    haven't had much luck.

    I would like to go fishing and canoeing with my 5 year old son.  What 
    would be ideal is a quiet pond or lake with mostly canoe or electric
    motor traffic.  The fishing doesn't have to be really great; just 
    enough to keep a five year old happy.  We throw them back anyways.
    
    Can anyone recommend a pond in the Goffstown area?  We are willing to
    travel 15 or 20 minutes if necessary.  Since I live in New Boston near
    the Goffstown line, something in that area would be ideal.

    Regards,
    Denis

	Denis, I'm not familiar with the ponds in that area, but I can suggest picking up Clark's NH fishing guide. Armed with Clark's and the Delorme NH Atlas I'm sure you could find just what your looking for. good luck, donmac

	... Yeah, but Clark's seems to have only the BIG lakes/ponds (if this is the map I'm thinking of - the beige book). re: .0 You might check out Clough State Park, situated between rte 114 and rte 13 (north on 114 out of the center). It's pretty quiet - no motor boats. Also, right near "downtown" Goffstown is a nice little spot just above the dam that I've heard called "Glen Lake". This is pretty good, but sometimes attracts oversized (for the lake) p-boats. -- Sam
1453.3	Blue not Beige	RANGER::MACINTYRE	Terminal Angler	`Tue Jul 10 1990 17:16`	12
	The beige book is Delorme's NH fishing maps, and your right, that book only covers a few, mostly large, lakes. IMHO, Delorme's is pretty useless when compared to Clark's for info on bassin water. Clark's is a large blue book that has almost every warm puddle in the state. It should be available at better tackle shops. It's at Zylas and Northen Bass for sure. donmac ps: on the other hand Delorme's NH Atlas is a MUST to help you find all them honeyholes that you read about in Clarks!
1453.4	Close to home?	DELNI::O_ONEIL		`Thu Jul 12 1990 09:28`	5
	I recall that there is great panfish fishing in the Pisquataquog River in Goffstown itself (and yes, I'm sure that is not how it is spelt :-), probably, though, LOTS of motorboats there. (I remember getting into huge schools of white perch...lots of fun...)
1453.5	Otter pond	TIMES2::URBAN		`Tue Jul 24 1990 15:17`	4
	Take the boy to Otter Pond, Greenfield State Park in Greenfield. They have a real nice swimming area, a 6 MPH speed limit on the lake, and great bass and pan fishing. It cant be amy more than 10 miles or so from Goffstown.
