I have been in the tackle retail business since the age of 16 and have been fishing Lake Winnipesaukee since I was five years old. My passion for fishing and knowledge of the lake over the last 50 years have been an essential part of operating my business. Seasonally, we’re open 7 days a week and I can be found in the store 95% of the time.

There are many places to fish the open water from shore such as: Winnipesaukee River (flows from Weirs Channel to Paugus Bay and through Lakeport Dam/Opechee area), Winnipesaukee River (through Laconia to Dixon Point at Lake Winnisquam), Lochmere Dam at Silver Lake, open water at Lake Winnisquam (where the river drains into the lake), Long Island Bridge in Moultonboro, Governors Island Bridge in Gilford, Smith River inlet at Wolfeboro Bay, and the Meredith & Center Harbor Town docks. Live Smelt, Shiners and worms on slip bobbers should work as well as small jigs.

The Newfound River in Bristol offers great fly-fishing-only water that can often produce drop-down rainbows and salmon.
