Perhaps of some interest to cold water fishermen
Not really sure where to post this because it's really old video footage from New Hampshire Fish and Game I'm guessing from the very late 50's / early 60's from Lake Winnisquam with regard to the Black Brook Fishery in Sanborton that I think is somewhat abandoned now or had been for many years. I have not been up that way in a long time but remember it well from my early childhood memories and first years on Lake Winnisquam.
As a young boy I was fascinated with the brook outlet from the lake that leads up to the hatchery on black brook road. Honestly there wasn't a whole
lot to see there but it was a place to go in the row boat back then and eat candy that mom did not know about
Not to mention the stories we heard from the old timers about what is was like before the hurricane of 1938 and how navigable it was before then. From what I remember it was a pretty famous place to go smelt fishing years ago, and attracted for lack of a better term tons of fishermen to Osborne's cottages and trailer park. Back in those days you could only get about halfway up to the hatchery by boat to the little hidden boat ramp at / behind Osborne's cottages, everything beyond that was all large downed trees that you would have to haul the boat over.

Take a look back at the Black Brook facility on Lake Winnisquam and the management of NH Fisheries' forage base, smelt.
