Fishing Labrador Pond in Carroll County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  In New Hampshire, Labrador Pond falls inside Carroll County. It stands 449 feet above sea level. It measures about 31 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. A shoreline of some 1.3 miles keeps the choices simple. Supplies mean a trip to Conway, 4.3 miles off. Further out sit Fryeburg (5.7 miles) and Madison (6.2 miles). The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Labrador Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Carroll County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Read Labrador Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 68°F and January near 18°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about mid December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That shapes the year on Labrador Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Conway Lake, 1.2 miles away. The position on Labrador Pond is worth confirming on the day.
