The law book is meant to be read by lawyers, and not fisherman. But the lake is closed to ice fishing except between the dates of Jan 1 and March 31...no matter what species you are targeting. This is for all designated lake trout/salmon waters in NH....no ice fishing outside of those dates for anything.
