Squam, Osipee, and Winona, N.H. 5-18 thru 5-21

Pointing dog and I, along with 4 other friends, hit New Hampshire hard last week. We fished Squam Lake for a day and a half, Lake Osipee for a long day, and Lake Winona for 6 hours. Almost all fish caught were off beds, and or were shallow. Squam lake is the most beautiful lake I have beeen on in a long time. No wonder they decided to use it for the shooting of the film "OnGolden Pond", it still remains fairly untouched even now, loons, beavers, geese, crystal clear water etc., absolutely gorgeous. The smallies averaged about 2 to 2.5lbs. with a few 2lb. largemouth mixed in. I am guessing that in a day and a half, the 3 of us caught at least 125 fish. Then we hit Lake Osipee, my personal favorite, for about 12 hours. The average fish there was over 3lbs., with a few fish over 4lbs. all caught from beds. Pointing dog caught a nice 3+lb. largemouth from a dock, that I'm sure he'll post a picture of. We caught about 60 fish on Osipee, not huge #'s but when they are mostly over 3lbs. it's a great day. The last day we hit Lake Winona, which was ok, it was like fishing in Conn., except much clearer and cleaner water. A good mix of smallmouth and largemouth, just all on the small side, most fish were under 2lbs. We saw a couple big girls cruising but wouldn't bite. Water temps. were high 50's to low 60's everywhere, except Winona they were in the mid 60's by the afternoon. The weather was great after we got through Mondays wind, rain, and 50 degree temps. Tuesday morning we woke to 28 degrees and a thick frost on the truck and boat, but warmed into the mid 70's that day, and the last 2 days got even better. Pointing dog has all the pics, so when he gets done flying all over the globe, I'm sure he'll post some good ones. Thanks again Pointing Dog for asking me along, I had a great time. This was a great trip that I would love to do again, as long as I can convince the CFO to let me go again next year.
