Trout Stocking

I sent this off to MA wildlife a few weeks ago however havent heard anything back so I figured Id ask...

For waters that are stocked with trout (as listed on the MA wildlife page) does it mean it is a public fishery? I see a few on there that Ive always thought didnt allow fishing so I was curious why they would be stocking trout if they dont plan on people fishing it.

Thanks

If it is stocked by the state it can be fished some r privately stocked. If it is listed it is state stocked. Would make no sense using license $ to stock a private pond. Though some places may require a permit to use boat ramp.

yep i know ponds that are privately stocked! state stocked waters are public

Thanks guys, the next question is one of the waters is more of a stream that is stocked that feeds into a larger body of water. Ive been trying to figure out if the larger body is legal to fish/access. Havent come up with much yet.

Why don't you give me the name of said stream and bigger BOW and I will let you know if I get caught

Hahah i would think so we have talked about it and tried to figure out access.

They stock it yearly and I constantly pull fish out of the Nashua river, it runs right behind my boarding school and so I can fish it whenever I want!! I also have the opportunity to fish in boston because that's where my family lives. I'm pretty sure that the only pond that gets stocked that is actually in boston is Jamaica pond. But I've pulled monsters out of the Nashua and it almost never freezes over because of how fast the water flows. Try worms int the spring summer and fall and then try power bait in the winter. That's how I caught most of my fish in the river. Good luck!!!
