Update

I have failed to successfully probe the recently stocked brooks and streams to tell what species of trout they stocked this year. Two years ago it was browns which survive for very long periods of time and were great fun since they took a dead drifted dry. Brookies are the other option which are cool and all, but don't react as well to dead drift fly tactics (in my opinion).
On the north shore hit list for brooks:
Fish Brook
Dow Brook
Bull Brook
Alewive brook

The usual trout ponds should be getting a second stocking this week. This usually includes browns, tigers and more rainbows. Remember, though, that the fishing only gets better as the season goes on, since they are stocked again the week before memorial day. Many people stop fishing trout in ponds after April; for me, May and June are the best months of the year for pond trout.

The saltwater scene is getting geared up. Alewives are pretty much across the board now, notably in the Parker and Essex rivers. The stripers can't be too far behind. To prove this, take a look at this schoolie caught on Saturday.

The shad are here in slim numbers as well. This was caught today:
