Walleye
Fitchburg, Massachusetts, might not be the first place that springs to mind for walleye fishing, but the opportunities are surprisingly good, primarily thanks to the Nashua River and its impoundments. Walleye thrive in the deeper, cooler waters of reservoirs like the Wachusett Reservoir (though be sure to check for specific regulations as access can be limited). Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they move into shallower water to spawn or feed aggressively before winter. A key tactic is to fish near structure – submerged timber, rocky points, and drop-offs are walleye magnets. Local tip: focus on areas where the Nashua River flows into or out of the reservoirs, as these areas often concentrate baitfish. Also, be aware that water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before heading out. The walleye population here is sustained through stocking programs, so you'll find a mix of sizes, with the potential for some real trophies.
