New Hampshire and Maine Fishing Report – January 14, 2021
Warm water species such as bass are the primary target until the larger lakes cap over.
In lockstep with waxing of winter, more ice fishing options are becoming available. Big water for the most part is still a work in progress but with the plethora of smaller places all capped over, many figure that the larger water bodies can wait.

“Slow and steady” is the best way to describe the way the ice is progressing on Winnipesaukee according to Jim from
AJs Bait in Meredith. In addition to Pier 19 and Pier 20, Gilford Beach is holding ice anglers and willing rainbows. Some have been out on 4” of ice on Winter Harbor but a better bet is to wait until after this weekend when the weather forecast is more friendly towards making ice there. Newfound Lake is purported to have open water while ice reports are good at Little Squam and Winnisquam.
