• Where to Fish on Little Cohas Brook Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rockingham County records list rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Little Cohas Brook Reservoir gives up more to patience than to distance.

  The seasonal spread runs 22°F to 70°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly late December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Little Cohas Brook Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Pine Island Pond is 2.2 miles distant. The position on Little Cohas Brook Reservoir is worth confirming on the day.
