| Massachusetts Trout Fishing | |
| Trout Fishing in Massachusetts The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters. Trout Fishing Lakes In Mass Trout can be found in rivers and streams throughout the state but the primary fishing for trout is done in some of the larger MA lakes like Hamilton Reservoir, Lake Chaubunagungamaug, Lake Cochituate, Lake Garfield, Lake Quinsigamond, Otis Reservoir, Quabbin Reservoir and Wachusett Reservoir. Visit the Massachusetts Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game website for complete details and schedules for trout stocking in Massachusetts. The state brook trout was caught in Otis Reservoir, the state record brown trout, rainbow trout and lake trout all came from Wachusett Reservoir and the state record tiger trout came from Peters Pond.
