The Charles River is a river in Massachusetts, USA. It travels through 22 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts, from Hopkinton to Boston on the Atlantic Ocean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles River
Great fishing here! You just need to adjust to people and the time of day. Largemouth are in plenty. Stay away from the boat launches and look for high grass with overhanging bushes. I have caught LM from 2lbs to 7lbs. Plus Crappies, Pickerel, bluegill.
There is a cool spot in needham, enter the cutler park, then follow the path for quite a long time till you see a turn on the left. A lot of open space. So far my trophy in charles river is a 8 pound largemouth. I don't recommend eating the fish because of the water mercury poisoning, but the place is awersome.
Rt.16 Natick, .7 of a mile upstream from the dam is an AWESOME spot for Carp, common and Grass. not hooked into a mirror yet but im still hopeful!! only been fishing the charles for a month been looking for carp for 4 years before i found this site and found out Carp were in the Charles and BOY you guys were right!!! thanks guys!!
Anyone have any luck fishing the Hemlock gorge section of the charles in newton? There is quite a bit of shore line access but i've been there twice now without even a bit. Tried crawfish, senkos, rattle traps, spinnerbaits...everything but the kitchen sink, lol.
The charles has great fishing in Waltham,Dedham,Newton and Watertown in my area. The coves in Waltham used to be one of the most productive fishing areas. Now shore fishing is limited too early in the season in the coves due to over infestation of water chectnuts,lillys and other weeds. Its a shame efforts are not made to clean it up!Still there are some spots from shore but if you can get a canoe or small boat out there you will catch the big boys. As long as you can navigate the weeds with your drag you'll be alright.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
