Brown Trout
While Melrose isn't exactly known as a trout mecca, some smaller streams in the area are stocked with Brown Trout, offering a chance for some close-to-home fishing. The Ipswich River, though a bit further afield, is a reliable option. Spring and fall are the prime times to target these stocked browns, especially after stocking events. Check the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife website for stocking schedules. When fishing these smaller streams, focus on pools and riffles, and use light tackle with small spinners, spoons, or bait. A local tip: stealth is key when fishing these smaller waters, so approach your fishing spots quietly and avoid making sudden movements. Also, be aware that some sections of these streams may have restricted access or special regulations, so be sure to check the local fishing regulations before heading out. The brown trout in these stocked waters are generally eager to bite, but can be easily spooked.
