Sawyer Lake Gilmanton NH Fishing Report

5 Rating based on 4 Reviews

Best Memorial Day Weekend Ever!

I spent Memorial Day weekend up in NH with my uncle and my friends. Turkey hunting became useless about two weeks ago so instead I decided to head out onto Sawyer Lake in search of bass. I wanted to avoid the dam this time though because it is starting to get a little crowded these days. So instead I hit up a new area close to the beach I used to swim from as a kid. The results were spectacular. I had hoped to catch smallmouth bass in this area, but I'm happy with the massive amounts of largemouths that I and other fishermen pulled up.

  • Fish Length (Avg): 15 inches
  • Fish Length (Max): 16 inches

  • Location Details: The beach right near here is an area I used to swim from as a kid. I have fished this area before, but always lost my lures to rock snags, as there are quite a few here. With my parent's old canoe and a better understanding of working lures however, I made out pretty well this time. The fish shown here was the largest of the whole weekend, a nice 2 pounder.
