Rainbow Trout
If you're looking for rainbow trout in the Claremont, New Hampshire area, the Sugar River and its tributaries offer some excellent opportunities. This isn't a trophy fishery, but the rainbows are plentiful and eager to take a well-presented fly or lure. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the water is cooler and the trout are actively feeding after the winter. Fall can also be productive as the fish prepare for spawning. A local tip: focus on the deeper pools and runs, especially those near submerged logs or boulders, as these provide cover. Access to the Sugar River is relatively easy in several locations along Route 12, but be mindful of private property. Remember to check the NH Fish and Game regulations for specific rules and bag limits for the Sugar River watershed. These rainbows are typically in the 8-12 inch range, perfect for a light tackle presentation.
