Wood Pond Fishing in Grafton County, New Hampshire

• Overview

  Wood Pond is listed under Grafton County, New Hampshire. It lies 830 feet above sea level. It measures about 25 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. There is roughly 0.9 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Start from Haverhill, 2.3 miles down the road. Then Woodsville, 6.9 miles, and Orford, 12 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Wood Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Grafton County records list rainbow trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass and brown trout among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The shape of Wood Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 68°F and January near 16°F on the long-run figures. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about early April until roughly early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Wood Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Records list it as a fishing water. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try The Fish Pond, 3.3 miles away. Treat Wood Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
