Brown Trout
While Watertown, MA, isn't exactly known as a brown trout hotspot, determined anglers can find opportunities in the Charles River and its tributaries. Stocking efforts in the past have established a limited population, and some holdover fish can be found in cooler, deeper sections of the river. Spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler, are the most promising times to target these fish. A stealthy approach is key when fishing for brown trout in an urban environment like the Charles. Try using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or minnows. Fly fishing can also be effective, particularly with nymphs and streamers that imitate the trout's natural prey. Access points along the Charles River Greenway offer convenient spots to fish from shore. Be sure to check the current fishing regulations and stocking reports from MassWildlife. Remember that brown trout can be sensitive to changes in water quality, so practicing catch and release is encouraged to help sustain the population.
