This is the time of year to finally get out on one of Pittsburg’s many outer ponds, if you haven’t already. Brook trout inhabit these places, some of which are of the native variety, and some of which are stocked by the N.H. Fish & Game Department. Each pond is unique, and at least one of them is sure to become your favorite.
Abnormally awesome weather weekend in the north country didn’t materialize in to many trout for the Green Mountain Project Healing Waters veterans that we hosted. This brown trout was the exception – 20″ and very healthy and swimming the depths again today.

Fishing for brook trout on Pittsburg’s outer ponds can be a good option when things aren’t exactly clicking on the river or the lakes. N.H.

Yes, there is apparently another body of water in Pittsburg with a healthy Hexagenia Limbata hatch – Round Pond.
