Shadrach Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Shadrach Pond lies in Cheshire County, in New Hampshire. The bank is 1,460 feet above sea level. At 9 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Shadrach Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Cheshire County list rainbow trout, brown trout, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Shadrach Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 20°F in January up to 67°F in July. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. The open-water window runs from around early April to about mid December in an average year. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Shadrach Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Harris Center Conservation Land takes in this water; protected-area rules will apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Tenney Pond sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm before you fish Shadrach Pond.
