Hoar Pond Fishing near Epping, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Hoar Pond is one of the Rockingham County listings for New Hampshire. It sits at 187 feet above sea level. It measures about 29 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. It lies lower than most water we list in New Hampshire. Epping sits 1.2 miles from here and is the nearest stop. The big place round here is Manchester, 19 miles distant. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Hoar Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. County-wide records name rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown trout and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On Hoar Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 70°F and January near 23°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Look for the thaw near late March; the fishing lifts straight after. From about late March to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Hoar Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. Hoar Property covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Pawtuckaway Pond, 3.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Hoar Pond before loading the car.
