About Chocorua Lake
Chocorua Lake, in New Hampshire, United States, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off. Shore anglers do well casting parallel to the bank along reed lines and overhanging trees, where ambush predators wait. Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Chocorua Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.

Fishing Techniques
- For Chain pickerel
Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs due to pickerel's sharp teeth, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what they're hitting.
- For Pumpkinseed
Use light tackle, such as an ultralight rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line, for maximum sensitivity and fun while fishing for pumpkinseeds.
- For Smallmouth bass
Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.
