You have no excuses to not get out there now as there are plenty of trout in the major lakes and ponds (that are selected to be stocked) throughout Massachusetts. Many ponds especially on the Cape have received all three species brookies, browns and rainbows. Ponds in the northeast have been fishing well as they were recently stocked with rainbows, many of which are up to 17-19 inches.
The rainbows at Pleasant pond in Wenham have seen a lot of pressure recently and have started to key in on the midge hatches that occur in the late afternoon-sunset. Last night I fished Pleasant pond and hooked up with 4 rainbows on chironomid patterns. Fish them deep and painstakingly slow.
To find a lake or pond near you that has been stocked see : http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/recreation/fishing/trout/trout_stocking_schedule.htm
- Brooks and rivers should be stocked this coming week, with the small brooks receiving mainly brook trout and browns.
