Massachusetts Fishing Report – January 21, 2021
Rivers, lakes, and ponds in Massachusetts should freeze to a safe thickness over the next few days, and ice fishing will pick up soon after.

While anglers are waiting for ice close to the coast, there’s plenty out west and up north.
Massachusetts Report
Jim, at
JCB Bait in Cheshire, described the swarms of families, friends, and solo-anglers who have been on a pilgrimage to Pontoosuc, Onota, Buel, and Cheshire, looking to spend some time outdoors. Don’t be put off by potential pressure; there is an awful lot of water out west and you can surely find your own spot away from other anglers. Jim says anglers are getting “everything and from everywhere”. Pike are the main draw and can be found among all these water bodies. For a shot at a slab largemouth bass, Cheshire Reservoir might just get the nod. Pontoosuc is a good choice for trout.
