Nobody is going tell you where to find them... not trying to be a jerk, but these spots are hard to find and people put in a lot of time doing it. Of course I'm not referring to you, but tell the wrong people, and these spots tend to get ruined quickly.
But, you can find spots with a little work. Look in forests that have streams, scout on Google Maps, etc.

I don't really write anymore, since I moved to CA, but another great guy took over. But look in the oldest posts and there's a ton of stuff I wrote about native brookies. Mostly fly fishing, but everything can be applied to small rods and worms if you prefer that. I even gave away a few spots that have them... read carefully

In short, yes. Mass has plenty of natives, but many of the streams that have them have stocked brookies too. You rarely will find natives in ponds.

I will definety check it out. I know it's a long shot to have anyone give up spots, but I figured it was worth it. I want to find some places that are a real hike into the woods that are every secluded and free from other people and civilization. I will definety be on the search this summer. Thanks for the help!

I just spent time reading a majority of UR posts on your blog, and just have one question. Do most of the small steams and brooks you discover in the woods hold fish?

I'm in southeast mass, in Bridgewater, but I am willing to take a drive if necessary. I'm only about 25 minutes away from plymouthGlad to help! Like I said, I did give out a few spots on old posts on the blog, but most are in the northeast. I don't know where in MA you are, so they may not help you. Where are you in MA? I may be able to at least point you in the direction of some trout...
These are all the spots that get stocked if ur interested. I mostly fish trout up in maine so I don't know any native spots in mass, but I'm sure u will catch some in some of these spots that get stocked.
bring a machette, water, granola bars. small flies and an ultra light rod.
