But here is some info for ya.
This document is only a synopsis of New Hampshire's fishing seasons and does not contain all the pertinent laws or administrative rules. For additional information, please consult the current New Hampshire Freshwater Fishing Digest. Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout & their Hybrids Rivers & Streams: January 1 - October 15 Wild Trout Streams: January 1 - Labor Day Trout Ponds: 4th Saturday in April - October 15 Wild Trout Ponds: 4th Saturday in April - Labor Day Lake Trout &/or Salmon Waters: January 1 - September 30 All Other Waters: No closed season Lake Trout All Waters: January 1 - September 30 Landlocked Salmon 4th Saturday in April - September 30 (Pleasant Lake, New London) All Other Waters: April 1 - September 30 Atlantic Salmon Brood Stock Fishery (along the Merrimack and lower Pemigewasset rivers) Catch & Release October 1 - March 31 1 Fish/Day, 5 Fish/Season April 1 - September 30 NOTE: A special permit is required to participate in this specialized fishery (click here to purchase online for $11). Additional restrictions apply. Click here for information and a map of access points. Largemouth Bass & Smallmouth Bass Rivers & Streams: January 1 - October 15; Catch & Release May 15 - June 15 Trout Ponds: 4th Saturday in April - October 15; Catch & Release May 15 - June 15 All Other Waters: No closed season; Catch & Release May 15 - June 15 Rainbow Smelt: See the current N.H. Freshwater Fishing Digest All Other Species Rivers & Streams: January 1 - October 15 Trout Ponds: 4th Saturday in April - October 15 All Other Waters: No closed season Fishing Seasons for Interstate Waters: See the current N.H. Freshwater Fishing Digest Basically, if you are fishing a river, catch whatever you want, if you are fishing a pond, wait until May. If you are fishing May thru June, make sure you have no live bait on your hook, as F&G will bag you during bass spawning season. The digest is actually really easy to understand, a tip is not to read the entire thing, unless you participate in every form of fishing and fish all over the state (if this is the case, I would assume that you would have a vast knowledge of all the laws). Think about where you fish, start there to make sure there are no special rules for that body of water, click the link to determine what species are found in the body of water you are fishing and then read the rules that pertain to those species. Other than that, you should have a basic knowledge of fishing laws; license required, use line and rod, no explosives, no electricity, etc. |
