Quabbin Question

Hi,

Regarding fishing at the Quabbin:

Is there any place to get some live bait near the entrance to Fishing Area 3
?

It's been quite a while since I've been down there.
I know there used to be, but that was a long time ago.

If so, where, and the name of the place so I can call them for hours.

Thanks,
Bob

There is a shop on the east side of the rive near a little tavern called
'Roosters.'

You can buy necks still attached to the rooster and just heave the whole son
of a bitch in the river....

....I think they also sell gophers....

Hi,

I should have been a bit clearer.

Personally, I do fly fishing.

But a friend wants to get his youngster involved in fishing.
Seems what would be critical here is that the kid catch something, somehow.

I suggested that they try Area 3, the Ponds, with some live bait.
Always possible to catch a few Bass on flies, or live bait there.

Hence, the inquiry if there are any places they can pick up some worms near
Gate 3.

A few years down the road, we can try to get the youngster into flyfishing.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob:
I think the bait store on Greenwich Rd. in Hardwick is closed, but I
haven't been that way in a few years. Try the two stores in Palmer:
Cooley Crossing, 1624 Park Street, Palmer, MA 01069 (413) 283-3474
Nick's Sport Shop Inc, 1029 Park St, Palmer, MA 01069 (413) 283-3920

Okay...although I think a pond over loaded with bluegill is a better place
to start, try this.

Water a large area of your lawn very well all afternoon. That night, grab a
couple of flashlights and go out and hunt the nightcrawlers...he'll get a
kick out of how you have to actually walk quiet and sneak up on them. It'll
be quite fun for him...
