Large-Lakes Fishing Season Opens April 1

One of the mildest winters in memory has already led to ice-free conditions on expansive portions of New Hampshire’s large lakes (e.g. Winnipesaukee), which will allow for abundant angling opportunities come April 1, the start of open-water fishing on lakes managed for landlocked salmon, lake trout, and rainbow trout.  The traditional “watching and waiting” period for available open water to slip in the first small trolling craft - typically 2-3 weeks after the official opener - will certainly not be the case this year!
