Folks, lived in Massachusetts for 12 years. Caught most of the
rivers in
the State. Just moved to Rhode Island. Where are some good places to
go? The Blackstone in Mass was nasty. The sections I visited anyway.
But one of my co-workers tell me there are stretches here that are
great and solid Brown Trout areas. I am a weekly kind of person and
like a mailman: no rain, sleet or hail slows me down! Now on the back
shift, the opportunities to hit more places present themselves.

I live in Woonsocket! Let me know

I'm also from MA, so I don't know a whole lot about RI. The only trout
stream I have heard of there is the Wood River. Your best bet would be
to look up the nearest TU chapter. Also, I think there is a book
available on trout streams in southern New England. I think Tom Fuller
is the author, but I'm not 100% sure. Given the limited options, maybe
you'd want to consider sal****er.

George reminds me that I keep that book in my car. . . I'll be right back. .

Hey - it's almost like Spring outside. Okay, give me just a moment to figure
out one of these book-thingies. Hmmmm, OH! Sorry - had it upside down. Yep,
Tom Fuller it is. HEY! This one has a table of contents! Rhode Island, Rhode
Island, . . . here it is. Wow! Did you know that's a small state? Says here
there have been quite a few improvements (1999 copyright) on the Blackstone,
but you're pretty much in an urban setting. Also says that RI regs prohibit
fishing in March, with the season running from the second Saturday in April
through the end of February. So much for that weekly jaunt, eh?

According to this book (the pictures, I mean . . . hell, does anyone read
the words?), the Clear River can produce some good fishing, as well as the
Chepachet, Ponaganset, Moosup, Falls, and, last but not least, Wood River.
From what I read (yeah, when forced, I can), I'd start by exploring the Wood
River first.

.. . . and pick up this book - there are plenty more right next door in CT.

Yeah - librarians are easy prey. If this didn't work, I've got a couple of
limericks under contruction. Thankfully, I can now save those for another
day.

p.s. I would highly recommend getting a CT out-of state
license(or moving out of RI altogether). Eastern CT has a ton of decent
trout streams, ponds and brooks.

Ya know, I thought about that after I reread it, and was comforted in the
fact that this was roff and someone would be certain to point it out. ;-)

Yeah - I think those (streams, not books) were listed in that book-thingy,
too.
