Trout Fishing in New Hampshire

Trout Fishing in New Hampshire

Trout fishing in the "New Hampshire" is in every type and color from a graceful multi-colored brook trout, a jumping rainbow trout or feisty brown, there is a pond or stream within a decent driving distance for most anglers.  

New Hampshire boasts a number of trout ponds that are managed strictly for trout and are closed to ice fishing.  Ponds managed for trout may be stocked with one or more species of trout,  with age classes ranging from yearlings (8-12 inches) to 2-year olds (12-15 inches), with weights up to 1-1.5 pounds!

There is over 12,000 river miles of stocked trout rivers and streams available for anglers provided by the state's generous fish stocking program.  Wild trout do exist and await the angler who is willing to take a walk on the wild side to get to them with nearly 50 remote trout ponds that N.H. Fish and Game annually stocks with fingerling brook trout via helicopter.  These fingerling brook trout often grow to 8-10 inches by their second growing season, and it's not unusual to pull in a monster 15 inches or longer. Trophy, remote-pond brook trout (three or more years old, some in excess of 17 inches) can be caught in select backcountry waters.
