People trying to keep a literal STOCKED river thats right infront of a hatchery? Thats just wild. Theres a god damn list online if everywhere that gets stocked and yall tryna keep it “secret”? 😂😂
This particular part of the river (I won’t name it in case you’re trying to conceal it, despite the dozens of guys there on an hourly basis lol) is always kind of a hassle. You have that horrible rock wall on one side and residential banks on the other. Finding a spot to get down, especially in waders, is like 😬. It’s worth it though. It’s away from those “above the bridge” crowds and the fish are enormous. Last year I caught my biggest bow of the season on this stretch and it was a BRUISER…steelhead-like. The one caveat is that I wouldn’t consider this to be the best trout river in Massachusetts. The Deerfield River and the Millers watershed are my go-to’s when I wanna have a “no questions asked” good day. That whole area gives me at least a dozen double digit days per season and there are some KILLER native brookie tributaries if you’re willing to do a bit of legwork and research.
Great video and great fish! I just subscribed….I started my own RU-vid fishing channel a couple of months ago and I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!
Love that your out there exploring. Pro tip! Keep that right hand finger on the line after your cast so you can set the hook without even thinking about it. Love the content!
