Week on Winnisquam

Hello,

My vacation is finally here. We will be on Winnisquam all next week. I have not fished this lake all that much. I also haven't seen many reports on this lake recently.

With a 4 yr old and a 2 month old, I am not sure if when I get out, whether I will have much more than a 1-2 hour troll. I hope I have a bunch of those.

But with such limited time any pointers in terms of locations for next week, I would be appreciative.

I have a GPS and a Bizer map.

Thanks in advance.

Chappy,

This is not first hand knowledge, but when I am spening time on Winnisquam (handful of weekends per year with non-fisherman..booooo) most of the salmon/trout trolling boats I see are working in the depths around Pot Island.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago. The area around Pot Island is a good spot to try. Also try the area around bouy #8 just south of Pot Island & bouy #3 to the north. I marked & caught a lot of fish there. If you are on the water at first light or at dusk, fishing the railroad tracks on the west side is a must. I fished 50'-70' of water, down 30'-45', 2.0-2.5 mph. I used mooselooks, top guns & DB smelts. The best colors were gold, gold & orange, white/red dots and of course the DB smelt-N.H.guide.

Good luck

Re: Re: Week on Winnisquam

Good news is... pretty much wherever you go on this lake (in deeper water) you're going to catch lakers. They may not be too big, but you'll catch them everywhere. I can't seem to get away from them on Winnisquam. I haven't had the numbers we get in the big lake, but it is typically a steady catch none-the-less.
Pot island probably is a good bet to try...
Pink and silver worked well for me last time I was out there...
Don't hesitate to fish late afternoon. I've caught bigger fish at that time on Winnisquam than in the morning.
