Adams Pond southwest of Beaver Lake covers 20.8 acres in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for the reservoir, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.
What to Expect at Adams Pond
At 20.8 acres, the reservoir is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.
Fish and Useful Baits at Adams Pond
Fish reported from the reservoir include brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch.
Bass
Largemouth bass in the reservoir can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
Bluegill and other sunfish in the reservoir take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on the reservoir.
Walleye and Larger Predators
Chain pickerel in the reservoir can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Adams Pond
Begin with one moving lure and one slower follow-up bait on the reservoir. Compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of the reservoir.
When to Fish Adams Pond
Early spring on the reservoir calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, anglers there should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on the reservoir is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
