in the past the worcester telegram has reported that the fall trout stocking starts when the water temps dip below 68 degrees. Deep ponds will hold over trout throughout the summer so you don't really have to wait for the stocking. I'll fish for them deep in warm water conditions in the summer, but usually by mid to late september you can find them in shallower water.
that's the thing is that I prefer fishing trout shallow when they're fattening up for winter or in the rivers once they fill 'em up. My main concern is in catching a brownie before the end of the year because I haven't caught one before

Fly fish! There are many FFO sections that I would be surprised if you don't catch a brown in.

I would like to get into fly fishing, but it just isn't convenient for me at the moment. Hopefully I'll get a setup and some flies by spring maybe.

Consider it in the "off season" and PM me if you need any help for what to get. Problem with browns is they stock a disproportionately small amount in lakes and ponds so it's really like weeding through rainbows to find them, not that that's bad. Plus some ponds just don't get any, or at least it seems like it. Either find a pond that gets a lot (many of them are near Plymouth/the Cape) or find a river. But Last week of Sept-mid Oct is when they usually stock, if all goes right.

It's not updated yet. They still have the old spring info, but keep checking.
You can also call the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife district offices for recorded info on stocking.
