I've only caught salmon on winnisquam with live bait by the mouth of the river behind martels. I have caught a few lake trout that liked speedy shiners and the small chevy chase, both gold with orange stripes. I have heard that a rainbow colored needle fish works good on that lake. I caught a few rainbow north of Pot Isl. towards the point, also a good place to catch lakers in the winter. Should be having more company with the new boat launch opening today! Tight lines.

I fish Winnisquam the same way I fish Winnipesaukee... but seem to get more lakers than salmon. I like fishing over deep water on Winnisquam though.
