White Perch On New Hampshire’s Winnipesaukee

New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee is a large glacial lake at 45,440 acres with a maximum depth of 200 feet. This uniquely clear lake has a large center section called the Broads and a series of bays that stretch for miles in all directions, creating 183 miles of continuous shoreline. The lake is home to celebrities, politicians and professional athletes. It is also home to some of the largest white perch in North America, and a lot of them.

Add uncomfortable cold winter conditions to that equation, and it’s enough to send some anglers back to the tying bench.
