1071.0. "Mass. Trout" by CECV03::BRICKLEY () Thu Mar 30 1989 15:50

    The trout fishing is hot in Mass. Monday we went to Long Sought
    For in Westord and limited out in 2hrs the biggest being 20". Tuesday
    I went to Badacook in Groton and limited in 1hr. The trout were
    in about 15' of water and hitting gold 3/8 oz. spinners. Also trout
    on the Cape are hitting grass shrimp which right now can only be
    purchased on the week ends from the local bait stores. If anyone
    would like info on the trout ponds in my area feel free to contact
    me on my mail node.

	I agree with the previous note about Trout fishing in Mass! The Sudbury river in Hopkinton has been excellent, as it was stocked Friday, March 31st (in Hopkinton-Ashland) with BRowns and Rainbows between 9-13 inches. The Sudbury river crosses Rt 85. in Hopkinton and continues to Ashland, home of the Nyanza Chemical Dump site. Yes, the state does stock the river where the chemicals leach into the river in Ashland, and there are many viewpoints regarding the taking of fish in that area. I personally do not eat the fish there in Ashland, I look at it as "chemically inspired catch and release". On Friday and Saturday I took my limit of Trout on the Sudbury in Hopkinton, on Sunday I struck out. I was most successfull with Heavy spinners fished "low and slow" in the river. Some others were successful with corn and live bait (worms, meal worms, etc.) I was unsuccessful with streamers with my flyrod. In Hopkinton reservoir, also located on Rt. 85, there are many good size trout there as it was recently stocked. My friends did well trolling a silver "thomas bouyant" and a medium size "colorado". I have heard many good reports on Ashland Reservoir, and I personally have take "got my limit" on Whitehall reservoir in Hopkinton a week ago... -Larry -Larry
