Fishing Robb Reservoir in Cheshire County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  The Cheshire County end of New Hampshire holds Robb Reservoir. It lies 1,276 feet above sea level. It measures about 96 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Bank access stretches around 2.9 miles in total. Harrisville is the closest place, 6.2 miles off. Manchester is the closest city, 31 miles away. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Robb Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Survey and observation records for Cheshire County include rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Robb Reservoir rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 67°F; the cold one sits at 19°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early April. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Robb Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The water borders Harris Center Conservation Land, so expect the reserve rules to apply. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Rye Pond sits 1 mile off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Robb Reservoir if anything is unclear.
