I was wondering if anyone has any recent experiences in Lake Mattawa,
in Orange, MA. I found one note in the MASS SPOTS notes, but nothing
recent. From Rte 2, it looks great. I would like to ask anyone
responding to this note to also include directions to boat ramps.
Thanks in advance to everyone!

I fish Barton's Cove on the CT. river quite a bit. I live in Clinton and always notice Mattawa on the way up/back. I always say-- Gee I wonder what kind of lake that is... So, I just decided to call thier chamber of commerce to find out. Well, they don't have one so... I went down to the town clerk. The very nice lady told me that it is a lovely lake with a small boat ramp available to the public. BUT THERE IS A 10 HORSE-POWER LIMIT !!! So much for that place...

Hi Dave, this place mostly has trout in it. I have heard of channel
cats being stocked in it some years ago but have never heard of
anyone catching any. If you get off at the belchertown/amhearst
exit going towards belchertown you will see signs a couple of miles
up the road "LAKE MATTAWA" in orange, follow this road and it should
take you eventually around the lake to the boat ramp. As far as
bass go, i couldn't tell you whether it has them or not. Thier is
excellent fishing throughout the area, just pick up some town maps
in this area and pick a pond/lake and you should catch anywhere.
good luck, mark

| 1161.3 | Try Rohunta - smae general area | SA1794::CUZZONES | Mine came with a tatoo! | Wed Jun 21 1989 15:09 | 15 |
I don't know about Mattawa but Lake Rohunta on rte 2 just before
the rte 202 exit has some nice bass and they are shore-fishable.
I like to stop there on my way back from points east. I remember
one visit on my way home from WMO a couple years back, I talked
my 2 travelling companions into skipping lunch for a stop along
Rohunta. We grabbed a rod from the back and headed for the bridge
over rte 2. I could see the bluegill redds in the shallows and
the first hit on the grub I tossed was a big'n ... a bluegill of
mammoth proportions. I lobbed the grub into deeper water next cast
and set the hook when I felt resistance. I landed a 3 lb largemouth
within minutes. I handed the rod to the next guy and told him to
beat it. He never did but not from lack of trying. We didn't leave
until past 3 pm and he made me stop at the KMart in Hadley so he
could a rod for the next trip.
