Turee Pond near Bow Bog: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Turee Pond lies within the bounds of Merrimack County, New Hampshire. Everything around it is mixed forest. It runs to roughly 50 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. A shoreline of some 1.1 miles keeps the choices simple. The closest town, Bow Bog, is 3.3 miles distant. It is 12 miles to Manchester, the nearest city. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Turee Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Merrimack County records list rainbow trout, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Turee Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 20°F to 69°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly mid December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Turee Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A made slipway is half a mile from here, which settles the boat question. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Bow Town Pond is 1 mile distant. Confirm before you fish Turee Pond.
