Little Cub Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Little Cub Pond lies in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The shore lies 15 miles out. Surface area runs to about 12 acres — small enough to read in one session. Most waters listed here for Rockingham County are larger. The nearest place of any size is Danville, 1 mile away. Sandown lies 2.4 miles off, Hampstead another 3.7 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Little Cub Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Rockingham County records list rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Little Cub Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 70°F, while January sits near 23°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count the season from break-up, usually late March. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late March until roughly late December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. That shapes the year on Little Cub Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. This sits inside Town Conservation Land, so read the reserve notices first. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Cub Pond sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Little Cub Pond.
