Jerry in Milford

From Rick in Milford we heard that a fellow named Frank who works at the bank scored a few trout at Pratt Pond but dropped an estimated 8-pound brown at Wachusett Reservoir. His buddy also lost a big fish, presumably a lake trout, on the same trip. They did score some smallmouths, at least one of which scaled 4 pounds or better. Danny Southwick had a great week with big bass at undisclosed ponds in Rhode Island, tallying hefties scaling 5 pounds, 5.75 pounds, and 8.25 pounds. Rick heard from a reliable source that Danny fooled his fish with a jig ‘n pig and that he also bagged a big golden trout.

Mostly trout-fishing news this week from Rick in Milford. A couple of locals offering yellow Power Eggs off the beach at Pratt Pond in Upton got into a load of rainbow trout; another fellow using Yellow Glitter and Orange Glitter PowerBait picked up rainbows and one brown at Hopkinton Reservoir; and Mike scored some recently stocked rainbows while fishing from a boat at Ashland Reservoir. Matt put in a couple of days at Peters Pond in Sandwich, boating a bunch of yellow perch day one and “quite a few” trout day two.
