Fish species in Moore Reservoir

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Moore Reservoir is a wide impoundment of the Connecticut River between New Hampshire and Vermont. Its wooded banks and long open reaches make it a good boat or paddling outing, but it still behaves like a working reservoir. Levels and flows can change.

Lake facts

  • Lake size: About 3,490 acres
  • Fish to target: Smallmouth bass, northern pike and other Connecticut River fish

Where to fish

Work rocky edges and points for smallmouth with a tube or jig. Pike give you a reason to use a tooth-resistant leader near suitable cover. Spend time on one stretch rather than running the full reservoir; the return can be much rougher if the wind turns.

Getting on the water

Dodge Hill, Pine Island and the Moore Dam area are established public access choices. Check the operator's current site information for trailer suitability and closures. Fishing near a hydro facility does not include permission to enter fenced or posted dam areas.

More to do at the lake

Picnic areas and shoreline paddling can fill a day without leaving the reservoir. Choose an access near the water you want to explore. Review current Connecticut River interstate rules before fishing across the state boundary.
