Angle Pond

Angle Pond covers 160.3 acres in Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The recorded maximum depth at the reservoir is 39 feet.

What to Expect at Angle Pond

The verified 39-foot maximum gives the reservoir enough depth for fish to move away from the bank without turning the lake into a purely open-water fishery.

Fish and Useful Baits at Angle Pond

Fish reported from the reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

For largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic. For smallmouth bass on the reservoir, keep a bottom-contact bait ready for points and channel edges.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for crappie. At this Angle fishery, bluegill and other sunfish in the reservoir take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. On this 160.3-acre Angle basin, keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on the reservoir.

Walleye and Larger Predators

For pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Angle Pond

For Angle in Rockingham County, choose three different structural stops before changing sections on the reservoir. At this Angle fishery, compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of the reservoir.

When to Fish Angle Pond

On this 160.3-acre Angle basin, spring at the reservoir favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. For Angle in Rockingham County, once summer heat settles over the reservoir, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. At this Angle fishery, windblown points on the reservoir become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
