Kenneth Hill Pond Fishing in Strafford County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Kenneth Hill Pond belongs to Strafford County, New Hampshire. Height above sea level is 335 feet. The water covers some 28 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all.

• Where to Fish on Kenneth Hill Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Survey and observation records for Strafford County include rainbow trout, brown trout and largemouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Anyone new to Kenneth Hill Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 20°F and July at about 69°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. Expect the water usable from around early April until roughly mid December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Kenneth Hill Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Johnsonboro Road Preserve covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Long Pond at 2.2 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Kenneth Hill Pond is worth confirming on the day.
