Nutt Pond Fishing in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Nutt Pond is a Hillsborough County water, New Hampshire side. Salt water lies 31 miles off. It covers about 18 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Ground here is low by New Hampshire standards. Head to Manchester, 2.4 miles away, for anything you forgot. Bedford is 3.5 miles and Pinardville 3.8 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Nutt Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Species logged across Hillsborough County include rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Nutt Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 71°F and January near 21°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late March. Average temperatures cross freezing around late March in spring and again near late December in autumn. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Time your trip to Nutt Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Launch at Nutts Pond Boatlaunch, half a mile from the water. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Toilets are 0.9 miles away, which matters on a long session. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Pine Island Pond is 1.7 miles off. None of that is settled for Nutt Pond in what we hold.
