Freshwater

Fishing in the ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers of Massachusetts requires a fishing license, which costs $27.50 a season for state residents, $37.50 for nonresidents, $16.25 for resident senior citizens (free for those over 70), and $11.50 for children 15 to 17. Children under 15 do not need a license. A three-day license is available to nonresidents for $23.50. The daily limit and the allowable size of the catch vary according to the type of fish and season. Call the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife at (508) 792-7270 to verify regulations and procedures. The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife stocks many ponds and streams with trout. Jamaica Pond is the only one within Boston proper. A special permit is required; apply to the Parks and Recreation Dept., Room 816, City Hall, Boston, MA 02201. For a list of trout-stocked fishing spots, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife at the Saltonstall Bldg., Government Ctr., 100 Cambridge St., Boston, MA 02202, or call (617) 727-3151.
