X2 Wallum is awesome for smallmouth, so isnt the fench river

What part of the french would that be? cant be the oxford to webster section......

[fishlessman]

merrimack river from methuen to the lowell border is full of them and the river is really a nice place to fish in that stretch, 2 cars and a canoe and float it

Wallum Lake in Douglas in full of smallmouths. I've caught a few 4 pounders there. My own vote for the biggest smallies is Wachusett Reservoir. My biggest there was almost 6 lbs. Quabbin is full of them as well.

Too bad you don't live near the adirondacks.  Catching smallies was so easy, even my sister was catching them and it must have been the first time she's touched a fishing pole in over a decade.

I agree...I grew up right across the river from you (Niskayuna) and fished the Mohawk all the time....made it up to Lake George a fair amount of times as well.  Smallmouth was definitely king in that area!

Out here, I've only had luck with smallies in the Mystic River and a few spots that your not exactly supposed to fish at...

[ebour]

by the way, are there any stripers in the mystic? you mean by lower mystic lake right

Yep, that's the river...goes out the Harbor.  There are definitely stripers there...I think there are more below the dam in Medford, but the do get up to the rest of the river and the lake.  I've seen them dart under my kayak while fishing near the mouth of the lake, and my landlord was telling me how and a buddy pulled one through the ice one year!  I think a lot of people fish on or around the dam for stripers...no boat required.  I'm not 100% sure, since I haven't done it, but it's a logical place to find them.

Well that seems some what close. I should try there after school. Where do you put a boat in
