Ottauquechee River is a public river in Sullivan County, New Hampshire, managed by State of New Hampshire (public / navigable water). You can fish it on a New Hampshire fishing licence; bank access is at bridge crossings, NHFG access points and public parks. New Hampshire riverbeds are private property up to the ordinary high-water mark except on a few federally-declared-navigable reaches, so wading or bank fishing away from a public access point needs the landowner's permission. Public access confirmed via public-trust river.

Night fishing: New Hampshire allows fishing 24 hours a day on most waters; some designated trout ponds are restricted to daylight hours seasonally — check the current NHFG fishing digest for this water.
Boats: Most New Hampshire rivers (the Pemigewasset, Contoocook, Androscoggin, Saco and the White Mountains trout streams) are waded or floated by canoe, kayak or drift boat; the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers take larger boats in their lower, wider reaches.
Bank & bivvy camping: You can fish this river on a New Hampshire fishing licence; bank and wading access is at NH GRANIT-listed public access sites, bridge crossings and public parks — check current signage for any water, as bank ownership and access rights vary by reach.
Tackle: Statewide bass limit is usually 4 (with a closed season in spring on some waters); trout limits vary by water and many streams are catch-and-release or artificial-lures-only; pickerel, perch and horned pout are generous. Check the current NHFG fishing digest for this specific water.
