• Overview

After that come Greenville at 2.7 miles and New Ipswich at 3.8 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Greenville Reservoir

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. County-wide records name rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown trout and smallmouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Greenville Reservoir a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 20°F to 67°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. The season between ice runs from about early April to mid December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Greenville Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Batchelder Pond, 1.7 miles out. Rules at Greenville Reservoir are worth checking on the day.
