Wentworth Pond, New Hampshire: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Wentworth Pond in Belknap County, New Hampshire. Everything around it is pine and birch. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our Belknap County list holds plenty of bigger water. New Durham is the closest place, 3.2 miles off. Further out sit Wolfeboro (8.9 miles) and Barnstead (9 miles). The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Wentworth Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. County-wide records name rainbow trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, brown trout and yellow perch. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Treat Wentworth Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 68°F and January near 19°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Anyone fishing Wentworth Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. A pier or jetty stands 0.9 miles away, which helps on a crowded bank. Part of this sits inside or beside Merrymeeting Marsh, so read the notices. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Meadow Dam Pond, 0.8 miles away. For Wentworth Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
