Download - Fishing in New Hampshire
The Call of the Wild
The sun is out and the fish are bi4ng.
All over the northeast, anglers are dus4ng off their equipment and ge>ng back onto the water.
It is no different in New Hampshire, where sportsmen are looking to North Country to find the best fishing in the Granite State.
Encompassing the Androscoggin River, Forest Lake, the Connec4cut RIver and ponds, creeks and streams unnumbered, the North Country is the premier area for anglers looking
for a challenge.
All over the area, there are sweet spots, honey holes and family
secrets – all teeming with a variety of spirited fish.
Perch, trout, northern pike, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and the coveted landlocked salmon all call New Hampshirian waters
home.
License to Chill
Now, before you head out and start we>ng your lines, remember to
grab your fishing license.
Making sure you have all the proper paperwork is a necessary step to having a great 4me out in the wild.
But if you are planning a trip with some friends or your family, ge>ng everybody licensed for a single day of fishing can be expensive and
annoying.
However, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is giving
everybody a chance to enjoy a day of free fishing.
The first Saturday in June is known as Free Fishing Day.
On June 1, everyone can fish the beau4ful New Hampshire waters without a license, with only a few
limita4ons.
Season dates, bag limits and any other standard fishing regula4ons
apply and there are a few restric4ons on where Atlan4c
salmon can be pulled.
Besides those reasonable limita4ons, this is a great
opportunity to get friends and family out there.
This special day also applies to nonresidents of New Hampshire, so if you are interested in checking out New Hampshire’s North Country
fishing hot spots, June 1st in the day to do so.
It is the state’s hope that having a day of free fishing will get you ‘hooked’ and you can then get a license either from the web or at any other the local license agents
across the state.
Happy fishing!
