Smallmouth Bass
If you're looking for some hard-fighting smallmouth bass in southern New Hampshire, the Nashua area offers some excellent opportunities. The Nashua River, along with its confluence with the Merrimack River, holds a healthy population of smallies. These fish thrive in the rocky structure and current, offering anglers a chance to test their skills. Spring and fall are prime times to target them, as they become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Look for pre-spawn fish staging near spawning areas in the spring, and actively feeding fish preparing for winter in the fall. A great access point is near Mine Falls Park, offering shoreline access and boat launch options to explore the river. Remember to check the local regulations, as catch-and-release is encouraged to maintain the quality of this fishery. Consider using crayfish imitations or tube jigs, as these are local favorites.
