Grassy Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  In New Hampshire, Grassy Pond falls inside Cheshire County. It lies 1,188 feet above sea level. With some 143 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline comes to about 2.2 miles, small enough to learn in a day. The closest town, Rindge, is 1.6 miles distant. Beyond it, Jaffrey at 3.2 miles and Winchendon at 6.3 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Grassy Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Cheshire County names rainbow trout, brown trout and smallmouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Grassy Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 68°F; the cold one sits at 20°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early April. Expect the water usable from around early April until roughly mid December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. It holds true on Grassy Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Part of this sits inside or beside Perry Forest, so read the notices. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Bullet Pond is 0.7 miles distant.
