Years ago, I read an article about a walleye bite in western Mass starting in March. Any info from anyone that may have fished these guys?

I know that they fish for walleyes at Turner's Falls. I do not know if it is the lake or the discharge area from the Dam.

I do not know if they are stocked. It may have been an experiment a while back.

The Connecticut River, supposedly still has walleye in it.
It’s the only place I know that you can still find them. And, they are few and far between.
It’s a program started, but never took off.

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘, I’ve always wanted to try and get one. It’s a long, wide river.
I don’t where to start.
I hunt mostly northern pike and tiger Muskie.
So, I use Rapala Tail Dancers a lot.
Trolling at 3-5mph. Walleyes love them.

Supposedly they started a program at Quabbin reservoir.
I remember seeing the gold pins, when I was young. But haven’t heard of any lately. I also have not looked in years.
Always check the gold pin page. They have to say where it was caught. But, some lie. Hehe.
