Popular Fish Species Moore Reservoir, NH

Smallmouth Bass

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Good

Moore Reservoir is considered a decent smallmouth bass fishery. This is not a lake with lots of trophy bass, but a solid base of keeper smallies. Mid-range crankbaits, tube baits and jerkbaits, and topwater in Summer, are all effective here. Smallmouth fishing is often good on cold, windy, cloudy and rainy days.From the Highway 93 Bridge, all the way to the area around the North Littleton Boat Launch, is ideal smallie water.

Northern Pike

Current Report: Good
Outlook:Good To Very Good

Ice fishing for these toothy critters was decent this Winter. Thanks to ice-out conditions they are moving into the shallows in search of perch, baitfish and most anything that moves. Locals report good results, fishing the outer edges of weed lines with spinners, jerkbaits and crankbaits. Once the water warms a bit, noisy topwater lures are popular and should attract some of the bigger northerns. Use large lures and a steel leader.

Yellow Perch

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Good

As the water warms after ice-out, these perch move into the shallows, around weeds and other cover, where the fishing has been decent the last few years. A stable population of yellow perch reside here, providing a steady food source for larger, predator fish, plus they provide an excellent fishing experience for anglers of all ages. Jigs tipped with grubs or worms are a popular bait here, and are catching plenty of fish.
