I agree with you Mass has always done a good job when it has come to stocking trout of size. I lived in NH for a while and was always surprised at how much smaller the stocked trout were on average. I liked the tiger trout I would catch up there that I have yet to get in MA. I think we are very lucky for the waters we have, especially when you consider the size of the state. From the Deerfield, Quabbin, Wachusett, the Cape ponds, and the many smaller waters we have for trout... And that is just for trout, we have great bass water and many miles of incredible, world-class surf and offshore saltwater fishing. Yes, it is easy to come up with things that I wish they would do differently, but on whole, I feel, we are very lucky.
