Seasonal Activity Chart
Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Franklin Town, Massachusetts, centers around the Mill River and its tributaries. These streams, though relatively small, hold a surprising number of wild and stocked brown trout. Spring and fall are the optimal times, with cooler water temperatures triggering increased activity. Spring sees stocked fish acclimating and eager to feed, while fall brings spawning runs and aggressive behavior. Focus on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with riffles and runs. A practical tip: access to the Mill River is available at several points along Pleasant Street, but be mindful of private property. Wading can be challenging due to slippery rocks, so felt-soled boots are recommended. The brown trout here aren't known for their size – most are in the 8-12 inch range – but their wild beauty and the challenge of fishing small streams make for a rewarding experience. Using small nymphs and dry flies that imitate local insects is often the best approach.
