Fishing Winni July 2019

Things seem slow from what I hear. Wonder what is the cause.
I am going to try tomorrow, I am sure my luck will be the same.. As long as we are having fun is what counts.

One thing I noticed more so than previous years, there seems to be lots of plant life floating in the first 40'.

What is the cause? It’s called “fishing” for a reason...otherwise it would be called “catching”

Be patient, watch the fishing reports and they will come! Have fun!

Salmon fishing has declined in past couple of years, imho. I have been saying for years that there are too many lake trout in Winni. They compete with salmon for smelt, and they are eating machines. I have noticed a gradual increase in Lakers over the last 25-30 years and now it seems that people catch them 5/1 to salmon. Not good, harvest the Lakers! They are delicious. Added to that is the stocking problem encountered by Fish and Game over past two years and the results are stark, as your testimony (Trout) reveals.

Sunday morning put in another 4 hrs plus. Five Lakers zero Salmon. I did want to grill some up but all caught were under 18" and of course were released. I have to say that Winnipesaukee is one of the better lakes to fish in NH. I am fairly new to fishing deep Lakers and this is my third year. I really enjoying this new past time both summer and winter.
