Looking for the sun!
New Hampshire Fishing

Rain, rain, and more rain recently. Our pond continues rise, affecting the fishing. Did manage to get out for an hour on this 4th after the heavy rain subsided. Caught a few, and lost a few. But, watching the skyline, I decided it was time to call it quits as the clouds moved closer. Glad I did, it dumped just as I covered the boat.

Sorry you got rained out! Here in north NJ we had sun/clouds until 1pm then thunder and lightning directly overhead, rained @ 45 min then cleared up to hot sun. Fireworks all over the place last night and the gigantic full moon came up over Manhattan @11pm. HUGE!!

Man, Fireguy--that pond just BEGS to get fished with topwater, esp. along the grassline! In addition to gills, what other species call it home?🐸🐸🐸🎣🎣🎣

Top water is just starting to pick up DC.
We have a lot of LM, pickerel, YP, and panfish. Still get an occasional SM, sucker, fallfish, or bullhead.
I was out today in hot, muggy conditions and picked up a few, including this guy. Also entertained by a Loon.

DC, not stocked at all, just a lot of fish. Actually, there is an overabundance of fish, very little fishing pressure due to lack of access.

Love ponds like that! Fish seldom ever see an artificial lure, if ever, so it's either a snack or a threat which they dispatch by inhaling it! 🎣🎣🎣

Most of the folks I know are catch and release, except in the winter when we leave some small slime darts, perch on the ice for the Bald eagles and other critters. It's not unusual to catch a fish that had been hooked before, I really enjoy seeing that.
