Deering Reservoir, as the name implies, is an artificial body of water located between the towns of Hillsboro and South Weare in the town of Deering about 1 mile off of Rt. 149. The shoreline is wooded and undeveloped; the bottom is gravel and rock. The reservoir has an excellent reputation for ice-fishing. There is also good Smallmouth Bass fishing in the warmer months. There are 2 launch sites here. One state owned and one town owned, but both are difficult to use because of their construction and location. Average ice-out can be expected the 3rd week of April.
