Fishing near Concord, NH
Set in Merrimack County, New Hampshire's capital sits on the Merrimack River, formed upstream where the Pemigewasset and Winnipesaukee rivers meet in Franklin. This large freestone river runs straight through the city as a smallmouth bass fishery with spring trout in its upper reaches, while the Contoocook River joins it from the west. Coldwater big-lake destinations like Winnipesaukee and Sunapee sit within 30–50 miles.
