What types of fish are you looking to catch?

If you don't know a good book to start with is "Kids gone fishing"...even if you are an adult. It is a really basic book that covers all the f ...

Charles River in Watertown is now open above the dam -- also some open water for shore fishing at Charlesbank in Waltham. I was out there today.

I hear ya, bro.
I was at Walden Pond on Sunday, air temp mid-40s, sheets of rain coming down. The pond was ice-free. I was hoping for trout, but got zilch. Still, it beats working.
