Brown Trout
While Cambridge, Massachusetts, isn't the first place that springs to mind for brown trout fishing, the Charles River offers surprising opportunities for anglers willing to explore its urban reaches. Stocking programs supplement the wild population, making browns a realistic target. Spring and fall are prime times, as cooler water temperatures bring the trout into more active feeding patterns. Focus on areas with structure like fallen trees, bridge pilings, and rocky outcroppings – these provide cover and ambush points. A particularly productive spot is often near the Watertown Dam, accessible from the Charles River Greenway. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, especially after rain events, which can affect water clarity and trout behavior. Light spinning gear and a selection of small spinners, spoons, and trout worms are effective. Don't overlook fly fishing options either; nymphs and streamers can be productive in the deeper sections of the river. Remember to check local regulations regarding catch and release.
