Seasonal Activity Chart
Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Dover, NH, centers around the Salmon Falls River and its tributaries. This region provides a classic New England trout stream experience. Spring (April-May) is often considered the best time, immediately following ice-out and stocking, but the cooler waters of fall (September-October) can also be excellent as the browns prepare to spawn. Focus on areas with riffles, runs, and pools, especially where the river bends. A local's trick: try small nymphs or dry flies during the early morning or late evening hatches. Access to the Salmon Falls River is available at several points along Route 4 and other smaller roads, but be mindful of private property and posted signs. Note that the brown trout in this area are often wild or holdovers, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
