??? Freshwater ??? Lake Cochituate - Framingham, MA

[PAX]

Hi guys,

I am just starting a new job with a company based in Framingham, Mass. Per my research, lake Cochituate is well worth fishing. However it's a pretty extensive piece of water combining 3 ponds: North, Middle and South. I know that the State stocks the lake with rainbows and salmons. Any input about the best area of the lake to connect with those fish on a fly would be great. Any specific fly? Also where is the closest parking spot?

Thanks for your help

I've only fished there a few times but I have been skunked on each but one. There are Musky and Pike there as well so I bet the icefishing could be very exciting. No clue on flies... I'm mostly a live bait guy when it comes to fresh. Parking is available but access to all parts to the shoreline is not. Check the www.masswildlife.org site for the pond map.

Main parking lot and boat ramp is a short distance east of Speen st on rt 30.
