You need a Ma fishing license unfortunately, I had to buy one for ct, since I go to that boat launch quite often.

I always wondered if you can go all the way up to mass from there. How was the ride, any shallow areas to watch for?

How was the fishing more importantly?

yea the ride was awsome river was very high didnt have to worry bout the shallows but heard from a guy from cabelas say Igot lucky cuz that part of the river is pretty shallow at points just have to watch the way the current and river is flowing... my uncle says u can go up river as far as chicoppe falls... the fishing was slow but my dad did. catch his first freshwater fish ever a smb that was a little over a pound on a 4inch curly tailed purple senko
