New Hampshire Fishing Calendar

When each fish bites through the year — from the waters we map.

Slow · Good · Peak

Activity by month for the species recorded in our published waters. Tap a fish for the full guide. Timing is adjusted for New Hampshire — about 3 weeks later than the national average.

Know the water and the fish before you drive out.

Depth surveys, stocking records and water samples, straight from the public registries that hold them — brought together for one question: is it worth the drive?
