Brown Trout
While not a renowned trout destination, Gardner, Massachusetts, offers some opportunities for brown trout, primarily through stocking programs in select rivers and streams. The Millers River, in particular, receives regular stockings and can provide decent fishing. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with riffles and runs – classic trout habitat. Remember that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. The best time to target brown trout here is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can be effective, as can spin fishing with small spinners and spoons. Local tip: Check the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife website for stocking schedules and regulations. The brown trout in this area tend to be relatively small to medium-sized, but they can still provide a fun and challenging fishing experience, especially in the more secluded stretches of the river.
