I've fished the Waltham section and have done real well. They are rebiulding the ramp now and should be complete by June as it has been closed since last spring. The Basin is also good to fish. It has alot of different structure like wood, lilypads, bridge abutments, riprap.  I've caught largemouth, smallmouth, stripers and pike there. The river has a 10mph speed limit. You can also go through the locks and go out in the harbor.  The ramp is in Brighton on Nottingham Road next to the MDC skate rink. The only drawback is the kayks, skullers and the occassional dead body

The Waltham section has a dam at Moody St. To get to the ramp take rt20 toward Boston- a right onto Prospect st - Right on Crescent st - right onto Woerd av - ramp is on the right.    The Basin is down town Boston. Storrow Dr runs along the basin. The ramp is in Brighton. Take rt128 to rt16 exit - follow for a couple miles you come to a rotary, stay on rt16. You will see the river on your left, go straight through set of light that is Nonantum St follow that about 1mi. you will see the MDC skate rink on the left - ramp is just past it on the left
