My son and I want to catch some Pike (catch and release).  I have heard the CT river near the Nuclear power plant (We  do not have VT licenses only NH ).

We fished the CT river 1 time but only had a couple hours.   Can anyone give me any tips , best times or basic areas to fish for Pike.

 

Also other than the Ct river (staying in NH) , other places?   We live in Nashua.

I'm not in NH, but as far as where to fish for them, get around grass and throw baits with a lot of flash. Willow leaf spinnerbaits work really well. They're fairly easy to catch, so if they're around they'll let you know.

I Have the NH Fishing guide, and lists some bodies of water that have them. Ill send along the info when I get home.

My Clark's says CT River, Spofford Lake, and possibly Monomonac Lake. hope this helps!

Thanks,

NH isnt known for Pike. The chemistry of the water does not match well with them. Maine has some lakes that hold them. Lake Champlain has a great population of Pike if you can get out that way.

The retreat setback in Brattleboro, on the Ct. Is good for pike.

the belgrade lakes Region of Maine has GREAT pike fishing
