Welcome. I was stationed in North Carolina for awhile when I was in the Marine Corps. It is a great state with a lot of fishing and hunting opportunities. I don't miss the snakes though! I live in Palmer now but lived in Montague and am familiar with that area. It is hard to give general information but if you have any specific questions I would be glad to try and help you out. There are some great fishing spots in your general area such the Connecticut River that you could access with your canoe. You can catch all kind of fish there including Striped Bass, largemouth, Smallmouth, Pike, Pickerel, Walleye, Shad, Catfish Trout and all kinds of panfish. You could even hook a Sturgeon. My friend took a 39+ pound Carp out of there a couple of years ago. Just about anything you could think of swims in there. There are lots of lakes and ponds as well. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions and I will try to help you out. You can also go to the Mass. Wildlife website. They have a ton of info including maps of many ponds and fish species that can be found in them.
