Line Pond Fishing near Rumney, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Line Pond belongs to Grafton County, New Hampshire. The bank is 1,181 feet above sea level. Around 47 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. There is roughly 1.0 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Rumney sits 7.7 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Further out sit Lyme (9.5 miles) and Orford (11 miles). It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Line Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Grafton County include rainbow trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass and brown trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Read Line Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 66°F; by January the average is down near 16°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Expect Line Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. McCutcheon Pond at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Line Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
