Details

Lake Winnipesaukee, in the lake-rich heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, commands attention for anglers seeking something beyond ordinary fishing. Tim Moore Outdoors, LLC, based in Moultonborough, offers guided trips that maximize your time on these iconic waters. Whether chasing landlocked salmon, lake trout, smallmouth bass, or seasonal black crappie, Tim personalizes every outing with expertise and care. His fleet of modern boats, equipped with professional gear, navigates the lake’s deep waters and hidden shallows with ease, making each cast count.

Lake Winnipesaukee spans over 44,000 acres, surrounded by rugged granite hills and dense northern hardwood forests that drop steeply into clear water. The lake’s glacial origins created deep basins perfect for species like lake trout and landlocked salmon, both prized for their fight and flavor. Tim’s trips include full or half-day morning and evening trolling experiences, plus vertical jigging options that let travelers fish where these cold-water predators lurk. For families, smaller trips—like the Smallmouth Bass outing for kids as young as nine—combine learning and fun on calmer nearshore waters.

Winter transforms the lake into a frozen playground, with Tim offering guided ice fishing excursions in both the morning and afternoon. Guests have reported hauling in impressive lake trout while enjoying the warmth of Tim’s knowledge and well-prepared setups. Fall black crappie trips add seasonal variety, showing how this operation adapts to changing conditions and fish behavior.

Tim Moore’s reputation as a patient, insightful guide who adjusts to clients’ skill levels—whether this is someone's first rod or an advanced angler looking for trophies—makes these outings both relaxing and educational. His passion for Lake Winnipesaukee’s ecosystem shines through, making every trip a deep connection with the lake’s diverse fish community and New Hampshire’s outdoor spirit. For those aiming to make the most of their fishing time, Tim Moore Outdoors delivers unmatched local knowledge, quality, and a friendly, welcoming experience on one of the Northeast’s top fishing destinations.
