New Hampshire and Maine Fishing Report – February 25, 2021
February 25, 2021
Ice/snow melt has been a catalyst for an uptick in catch rates among many water bodies. That same bright sunshine is also making for a rare combination – ice fishing without having to be bundled to the teeth!
New Hampshire Fishing Report
Joe from
Granite State Rod and Reel Repair said that he’s doling out shiners at a record rate as hordes of anglers take to Beaver Lake, Canobie Lake, Cobbetts Pond. These water bodies are a two-story hat trick as they all hold both warm water species and trout! Anglers had been out on the coves of the Nashua River catching bass but Joe’s not sure about conditions now that there’s a sustained thaw. Silver Lake has been productive for pickerel, perch, bass and he’s been hearing good things regarding white perch from the Merrimack.
I ve been deep-sea fishing off the coast in Portsmouth and even enjoyed a whale watching cruise (where we actually saw some whales) in Hawaii. Outside of that, my life has been relegated to freshwater fun.
We grew up water skiing and swimming at Kennebunk Pond in Lyman, Maine, and visiting my dad s family camp on Sebago Lake. Aside from that, I ve been on terra firma. Skateboarding, BMX riding, hiking, skiing, and road cycling have been the mainstay of my outdoor life. For most of us, land is where it s at.
A few years ago, I was very fortunate to be able to purchase an acre of land in Lincoln with a good friend of mine. We split up the lot into three parcels and one of those is where I built my house.
