Baboosic Lake

Baboosic Lake covers 227.9 acres in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. The recorded maximum depth at the lake is 26 feet.

What to Expect at Baboosic Lake

The verified 26-foot maximum gives the lake 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 Baboosic Lake

Fish reported from the lake include bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, white perch, and yellow perch.

Bass

At this Baboosic fishery, low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Bluegill in the lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in the lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on the lake.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Baboosic Lake

Start with the clearest repeatable contour or cover edge on the lake. On this 227.9-acre Baboosic basin, compare vegetation, shade and firm-bottom changes around the lake before searching open water.

When to Fish Baboosic Lake

A sunny spring afternoon can pull the lake fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in the lake may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring the lake fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
