Bear Pond Fishing Guide, Grafton County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Bear Pond is listed under Grafton County, New Hampshire. The country here is rolling bush. At 13 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Enfield at 3.9 miles is the nearest place to stop. After that come Lebanon at 9.2 miles and Grafton at 9.3 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about. This is one of dozens named waters in the county.

• Where to Fish on Bear Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Grafton County: rainbow trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, brown trout and largemouth bass. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Bear Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 67°F for July and 17°F for January. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly early December. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. On Bear Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Canaan Town Forest covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Little Goose Pond is 1.8 miles off. The position on Bear Pond is worth confirming on the day.
