Connecticut River (NH), NH

River in Cheshire County, New Hampshire. The Connecticut River forms New Hampshire's entire western border with Vermont, offering a long, varied fishery from the cold tailwaters below the upper dams to slower warmwater reaches downstream. The upper river holds wild and stocked rainbow and brown trout, while the broader sections near Walpole and Charlestown produce smallmouth bass, walleye, and northern pike. Channel catfish and panfish are common in the warmer pools. Boat and shore access is available at numerous town landings on both banks.
