Visiting NH Questions

[Cjshiz]

Hey guys! Im from CT and I'm visiting my friend up in NH. Im looking to do some ice fishing on Moore res. and had some questions about regulations. How many lines can one person have in the water? Can my tipups have treble hooks on them? Are there lake trout if so can i fish for them? Can i fish for pike if so are there any regulations on them? And basiclly anything you guys think i should know so i dont break any regulations. Thanks guys!!!

This should answer all your questions.

Don't forget that ignorance of the laws is not a valid excuse, so be aware of the regulations.

The NH F&G website should have all the information you need, from number of traps you can use and whether or not a particular body of water has any special restrictions. (things like if a pond is "trout only" which means "no ice fishing" to special trout/salmon waters that only allow 2 traps/lines may be used.)

Good luck and stay safe!

Hmm ask a stranger on a website and get their interpretation of the law or considering you’re already online just look up the official rules yourself?

I looked up the rules myself and unlike the ct reg book, which is very straight forward,  the nh one is not. Thanks for the help though!!

I grew up down there. There are a lot less waterbodies to fish and less species of fish to fish for which would make for an easier book to read. I like my hard reading book.

So true!
After you've been through the NH one a couple times, it's not hard to follow.

More things to remember.  No lead split shot or jigs, and you can't bring live  bait up there from CT.

NH has alot of rules, so be sure to read up on them.  Good start above.

1 more....you can't use perch as bait for pike in NH.  And you can't release unused live bait in NH (although I don't think anyone pays attention to that rule).

The NH ice fishing regs are absolute garbage. Next year come to the Adirondacks. That's where the real hardwater diehards hang out.  7 lines of any kind on open lakes doesnt matter what's swimming in it. Go ahead put 4 trebles on each line with live bait on em its legal. Just make sure you dont forget your jigs. Lake George for lakers and perch, Great Sacandaga for pike.
