Caldwell Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Caldwell Pond in Cheshire County, New Hampshire. The land about it is pine and birch. It runs to roughly 30 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. For supplies, Alstead is 5.6 miles out. Beyond it, Bellows Falls at 7.9 miles and Keene at 10 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Caldwell Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Cheshire County names rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish Caldwell Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 68°F on average, January about 19°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Count the season from break-up, usually early April. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near mid December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Caldwell Pond.
