Fishing Tips



If you are reading this you probably like to fish. How about helping Commonwealth Fish and Wildlife release salmon fry in the rivers of Massachusetts so that you can catch an Atlantic Salmon someday? All the usual problems have seriously depleted the salmon in New England but releases of juvenile salmon can bring the runs back. Call 508-792 7270 x133 for release dates, times,locations, what to wear and other details.

Winter is here. Soon it will be time for ice fishing. Don't drink on the ice. Stay warm. Keep all motorized vehicles off the lake. Send us a picture if you catch something notable. We'll put it on the page. (Because of mercury, The Commonwealth of Massachusetts advises eating no more than 2 fish per month and for young children and pregnant women to avoid the lake fish altogether.)
