Angle Pond Fishing in Rockingham County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Angle Pond is one of the Rockingham County listings for New Hampshire. The shore lies 16 miles out. It runs to roughly 161 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn.

Hampstead lies 2.1 miles off, Sandown another 2.4 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Angle Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Rockingham County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown trout and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Take Angle Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 24°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late March. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late March and starts locking again about late December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Plan around that when you fish Angle Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. WWII Plane Crash Memorial Site covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. The nearest alternative is Showell Pond, 1 mile out. Nothing on Angle Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
