I am looking for a good river to fly fish for trout in Massachusetts. Can
anyone recommend one? I have heard the Deerfield River in western Mass is
good, but that is about a 2 hour drive for me. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks!

So where do you live, and how far are you looking to drive?
There are quite a few rivers east of the Quabbin that hold trout for most of
the year if not year-round...

there ;-)

It's okay, 'tripper. Pete already told the whole freakin' world. ;-(

BTW, I fished there a few days ago - very frustrating. Fishies
everywhere, but I couldn't figure them out. We should have a Mass Exodus
again there in the near future so we can gang up on 'em.

I'm heading down to Orlando on Sunday to great Ivan. Should I make it
out alive, we ought to plan an outing before the leaves start falling.
You're in charge of refreshments (I like to live dangerously.) :)

I live about 12 miles north of Boston off I93. Anything within an hour
drive would be great! I have also thought about going to southern New
Hampshire, but don't know any fishing holes there.

Close to you, can't vouch for them but have heard they get stocked with trout:

- Ipswitch River
- Shawsheen River

An hour might be cutting it close for these, but they definitely hold trout:

- Nissitissit River near Pepperell
- Squannacook River near Townsend

You would do well to pick up a copy of the Trout Unlimited book on Trout
Fishing Southern New England (or something like that - my copy is buried
somewhere in the house) and/or a Delormes Gazetteer for Massachusetts, either
will put you where there are trout.
