anyone fish towers pond before? how long is the hike to get to it? worth trying?

I fish it in the spring and early summer for trout all the time. It's not a bad hike at all. It's about a 1/2 mile hike and is basically flat. It's also a beautiful place to hike, bike, walk, horseback and just take in nature. It is a very quiet and tranquil place to be. I love to go there sometimes just to relax and take in the scenery.Here's a photo I took this June when there. 538677_10151571420705343_861131586_n.jpg

      Went out for some smallmouth today and we got what we wanted! The first fish I hooked up with was without a doubt my biggest smallie... I thought I was on the bottom until I felt her head shake, then

      Shane and I got out today, fished a new sport for the first time and put together an alright day. Lots of pickerel, some pretty small bass but I did manage my biggest fish of the year SO FAR at 6lbs o

      What's up, everyone?! Figured I'd bounce on here, say hi. I got so tied up in chasing fish this year, I forgot to do anything else. I hope you all are happy and healthy in this new year, and have big

    Tower I agree has nice scenery, but the fishing sucks. I have tried many times there and know people who also have fished with no luck. Also if you go watch out for the loads of horse crap all over the place. Last time I was there it was all over the trail. Good luck if you decide to try it.

    Towers pond sucks don't waste your time.

    Naw, you just need a canoe or kayak and know where to fish it. I have awesome luck fishing for trout but will agree the bass fishing is slow there. Although I have seen huge bass during spawning time but have never hooked into one.

    Been out there in my Jon boat and very little bass action. I'm not a trout fisherman so I can't say much about that.

    When I went in early June fishing for Trout, I looked down along the rocks and seen two HUGE! LMB spawning. Tried my heart out to catch them but they just wouldn't take. Not sure why they aren't active in that pond. They're there, but they just don't hit.

    I'm sure they are there, but personally its not the best bass pond IMHO. I like numbers. Not worth it to me to spend 3 hours trying to find just one fish.

    Hi all first time in a couple months writing on here. Been doing Swains a lot near me.. Any lakes in the southeastern part of the state I can fish with a 18ft boat? Been doing tourneys in Maine and just have the bug to fish locally lately. I have done Baxter, Milton 3 ponds and Greateast of course everyone fav, Winni.

    Bob, wondering how you have been doing on Swains? I have been fishing Mendums and not having much luck. Going to fish Winni tomorrow night and Sat.

    Fishing has been great at Swains both LM and SM, I have never done Mendoms because everyone says I can get my boat in there only carry in or small boats. I'm able to get about 2 dzn each outing at swains but never anything over 4lbs. In fact when I teach people how to bass fish I take them to Swains first before I take them to any of the bigger lakes.

    That is great, I would love to be able to catch 4lbs in Mendums. Lately I can only seem to muster up little guys. If someday you would like to try your hand on Mendums let me know and we can fish out of my fathers boat.

    Nev is that the Mill yard? I see buildings in the back. That first fish looks like a 4 or 5 pounder. Looks like a great day to me.

    Just got access to use the ramp by the Millyard. Honestly it doesn't look very good and I stink at river fishing, but gonna give it a shot. Anyone know where I can find a depth map of the river?

  • Quote

    If you go right from the ramp it will take to Main street in downtown . tons of smallmouth. fish the walls all the way down to Main street . I have not had much luck past the Main street bridge but have at the bridge and all the walls all the way especially at all the buildings. some huge pickerel also. small spinners and crankbaits. i do well with a black and silver heddon flatfish. I have lost a lot of fish practicing with a ragetail craw and a ragetail chunk , keel weighted and weightless as well as a plain black worm.

    If you go left from the ramp fish the shore on the side of the road you just drove down. You will go around a hard right corner and the river will open up wide. Fish this area well on the sides and dont miss all the underwater grass in the middle. medium sided zara spook on top as well as spinners. there are some nice smallmouth in those weeds underwater. i have better luck casting into the current and pulling the lures with the current than i do trying to make the lure swin upstream. bring a heavy anchor. I have not found any real deep spots. if you follow the water for a bit past that it will take you to the bridge that goes over the highway at exit 6 home depot. fish that bridge well, they are there. we used my buddies 17 foot fiberglass bass boat and the 100 hp motor with no problems right down the middle most of the time. just pay attention to the trees sticking up. It takes me about 20 minutes to get to the bridge at the highway with my jon boat and 5 hp motor wide open. fish the rock area near broad street as well. you will see the rock wall it is huge. ind of behind dairy queen. lots of deer too in those woods. i see them almost everytime. if you keep following it will get rocky and the current will get fast.

    there is a lot of water to cover. river fishing can be tough with so much area and all of it looks good. i dont believe i have caught more than 1/2 dozen largemouth. seems to be mostly smallies in that lower part of the Nashua river. and they fight. Hope this helps a little. I have had some decent luck in the canal too. the canal is jonboat or canoe area and no gas motors in the canal. the canal has been mostly largemouth and pickerel. you can get in the canal thru mill pond at the far end by the high school or right in the millyard. i have done both but have never done it from one end to the other so i am not sure if you can go completly thru with the water being low. in the 3 years since i have started fishing again i think i have seen 1 person fishing the canal and that was with a kayak they put in at mill pond. The fish should be there
