Just curious if anyone is interested in sharing their opinions on their favorite place to catch smallmouth in NH. I'm sure Winnipesaukee will be popular. Anywhere else you go when you need a bronze fix?

Squam!

Squam!

I thought that might be another popular one.

How about Winnisquam? I've never tried there. Is that a quality smallmouth lake?

There are smallmouth in the Merrimack river.

lake umbagog on the border between maine and n.h. best smallie lake i have ever fished!

Bow Lake is great, as is the Merrimack. Squam is very good, though, just had more luck at the others.

I am going with the Merrimack river and Bow Lake

There are so many good to great smallmouth waters in NH my favorite is where I happen to be fishing.

its elkhorn creek, and its beautiful, remind you alot of reenbrier river.

Newfound has some great smallies in it as does the CT River.

It's been a while since I started this thread. I'm surprised, but happy, it's still near the top. Some good looking water bodies that I hope to try next season. I've been to Bow Lake a few times and caught one or two, but I never seem to do well there. Where are you guys finding them (if you don't mind sharing)?

I've only fished Bow Lake a couple of times myself. There's an abundance of smallies. We fished mid-summer in about 18' of water. They were hitting 4" power worms, senkos and tubes. Fished right on the bottom, slow presentation.

Lake Waukewan in Meredith is my favorite. Not much pleasure boat traffic. Plenty of great fish in that lake all over the place, on tips, in coves, and out deep!

The best SM fishing in NH is in Maine.

No way. NH has the best smallmouth fishing period.

Stay out of Maine, the place blows, no fish there. The Residents are hostile.

Agreed

The best fishing is where ever you are catching them at the moment.

Yeah, we got better smallie waters in NH. Now here's another question. Where are you guys' favorite places for spawn time smallies? Mine is Massabesic.

+ 1. I agree

Spofford Lake for me. Was under 1lb from the State record last year on a Smallie there.

Wentworth is pretty gd, as well as Squam

That settles it, NHBassmaster. Spofford on Wed, the 4th. Never been there, but really want to.
