Ferrin Pond Fishing in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  New Hampshire holds Ferrin Pond, in Hillsborough County. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. The water measures roughly 18 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Deering lies 4.1 miles from the water. After that come Francestown at 4.2 miles and Weare at 4.3 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Ferrin Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Hillsborough County: rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Ferrin Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 68°F for July and 20°F for January. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid usually goes in early April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early April and starts locking again about mid December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Anyone fishing Ferrin Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. This sits inside Ferrin Pond Nature Preserve, so read the reserve notices first. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Failing this one, try Pleasant Pond, 2 miles away. Nothing here settles the position at Ferrin Pond for certain.
