1-16-2021 North Country Angling-Crystal Lake

Jigging for brown trout on Crystal Lake. (LESLIE ANGERS PHOTO)

N.H. Fish and Game provides two days during the year in which a license is not needed. One of these days is in June, when fishing is in its prime. The other day is in January for those anglers who like to fish hardwater.

Saturday, Jan. 16, is the day designated to ice fish without a license. Ponds and small lakes in the Valley have sufficient ice as of Wednesday. I got out on Crystal Lake that day and found ice to be 3 to 6 inches thick. This is fine for walk on but I would recommend keeping the ATV or snowmobile at home.
