Stony Brook is a public river in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. 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.
It runs roughly 1 miles through the Merrimack Valley region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Burton Pond and Burton Pond Dam.
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.
Anyone 16 or older needs a New Hampshire fishing licence — the resident annual is about $45, the non-resident annual about $73, with non-resident 1-day (~$14) and 7-day (~$47) licences also sold. New Hampshire residents 68 and older need no licence. Buy from NH Fish and Game at wildlife.nh.gov. A New Hampshire fishing licence covers this water — it is in the NH Fish and Game Freshwater Fishing Guide.
