Morgan Pond Fishing near Springfield, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Sullivan County, New Hampshire, is where Morgan Pond sits. It stands 1,703 feet above sea level. Surface area is around 51 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. About 1.1 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Compared with other New Hampshire water on our list, it sits high. For a base, Springfield sits 1.6 miles out. New London is 4.6 miles away, with Wilmot at 5.5 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Morgan Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish documented in Sullivan County include rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, Arctic charr and largemouth bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Morgan Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 67°F, while January sits near 18°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. At Morgan Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Part of this sits inside or beside Gile State Forest, so read the notices. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Kolelemook Lake at 1.5 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Morgan Pond in what we hold.
