Robinson Pond Fishing near Hudson, New Hampshire

• Overview

  In New Hampshire, Robinson Pond falls inside Hillsborough County. It lies 213 feet above sea level. With some 128 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 2.4 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Few waters listed in Hillsborough County are bigger. Hudson lies 3.5 miles from the water. Windham follows at 4.2 miles, then Londonderry at 4.7 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Robinson Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Hillsborough County records list rainbow trout, largemouth bass, brown trout and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Robinson Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 22°F to 70°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late March. Expect the water usable from around late March until roughly late December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Robinson Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Parker Wildlife Sanctuary covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Ottarnic Pond is 2.6 miles off. Treat access at Robinson Pond as something to verify.
