Hunt Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Hunt Pond is a Rockingham County water, New Hampshire side. The coast is 19 miles away. About 11 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Rockingham County standards. For a base, Sandown sits 1.5 miles out. Chester is 2.7 miles away, with Fremont at 4.3 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Hunt Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Rockingham County include rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout. The county list is broader than any single water. At Hunt Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 22°F on the long-run figures. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. In an average year the thaw lands around early April and the freeze near late December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Hunt Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Part of this sits inside or beside Wells Village Town Forest, so read the notices. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Lily Pond, 1.1 miles away. For Hunt Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
