Brown Trout
While not as renowned as some other areas in New Hampshire, Keene offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing. The Ashuelot River, which winds through the region, holds a population of these fish, particularly in its deeper, cooler sections. Spring and fall are the prime times to target browns, as they become more active during these periods. Fly fishing is a popular and effective method, with nymphing and streamer fishing often producing results. Spin anglers can also try their luck with small spinners or spoons. Access to the Ashuelot River is relatively easy, with several road crossings and public access points along its course. Be prepared to wade, as this is often the best way to reach the prime fishing spots. The brown trout in the Ashuelot tend to be on the smaller side, averaging 10-14 inches, but they are known for their beautiful coloration and fighting ability. Be sure to check the New Hampshire Fish and Game regulations for any specific rules regarding trout fishing on the Ashuelot.
