307-acre lake near Canaan. NH GRANIT / NH Fish & Game survey water. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 307 acres of water rimmed by 2.7 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 81% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1 mi long by 0.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Grafton County. For a second option, Goose Pond lies 4 mi northwest.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 20 ft, and winter fish hold in 4 to 20 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 19 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
