Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout fishing near Beverly, MA, you'll want to target the smaller, stocked streams and ponds in the region. While Beverly itself doesn't have prominent trout waters, nearby areas like the Ipswich River watershed and some of the smaller ponds managed by MassWildlife offer opportunities. The stocking season typically runs from spring through fall, so check the MassWildlife website for the latest stocking reports before heading out. Early spring, right after stocking, is often the easiest time to catch rainbows. Small spinners, worms, and PowerBait are effective baits. Access can be tricky in some areas, so look for designated parking areas and be mindful of private property. A valid Massachusetts fishing license is required. Also, the rainbows in these smaller waters tend to be on the smaller side, so consider using lighter tackle for a more enjoyable experience.
