Newfound Lake, NH Fishing Report
Newfound Lake 1
Everybody told me you can't fish this lake. (Except for the anglers on this site. Way to stay positive!!) Even the guy who sold me bait! In the end, I caught two smallies, my first Brown Bullhead and my first Carp (edit: not a carp, probably a white sucker), which was pretty big and fought hard! I did lose a couple lures on the rocky bottom and a big smallie (3 lbs?) threw the hook at the last second. The really funny part was when a smallmouth took some powerbait I left for the trout. He gulped it straight down and then took off straight up. He shot two feet out of the water completely vertical. Awesome. I bet this lake would kick ass with a boat.

I vacation on Newfound every july. I have had a lot of luck in between the 2 islands on a home made bait with a night crawler. I drift and bounce it off the bottom in about 20 feet of water. was able to fish 5 times last year and caught 4 smallies....between 3-5lbs.
