The fish are biting in Twin Mountain-Bretton Woods! While we can’t promise a catch every time, anglers of all ages and abilities tend to have pretty good luck.
Toss your line in the waters of the Ammoonoosuc River, Profile Lake (fly fishing only), White Mountain National Forest or one of the many bodies of water with roadside and backcountry access. Anglers are amazed to find a variety of local species including trout, bass, and perch.
Fishing is a great way to get outdoors, spend time in nature, and stop to appreciate the little things. Start a family tradition, teach a friend a new skill, or head out on a solo adventure.
New Hampshire’s White Mountains are prime fishing territory, so get out and go fish this spring and summer!
