 Catch This One |
| Fishing is permitted in the Upper and Lower Ponds from 6:00 AM on the second Saturday in April to March 1 each year. A RI fishing license is required, of course. Trout are stocked annually in both ponds and there is a native population of bass and other species. Fishing access to the Upper Pond is by boat, the boat dock, the fishing platform and some shore sites. The fishing platform and many Upper Pond shore sites are handicapped accessable. Thanks to Eagle Scout candidate, Sam Schwemin, 25 sites off the Blue Trail have been cleared and identified to allow fishing from the shore at the Lower Pond. See the Lower Pond Map. A RI fishing license may be purchased at the Portsmouth Town Clerk's Office and other places. The Town Clerk's Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 4:30. Prices vary and depend on age, residence and duration. A trout stamp is also required. | |
