The …

I arrived at the usual spot near the usual gate in Sterling, Massachusetts for my annual rendezvous with friend and colleague Ron Powers. But the timing was far from usual.

Lauren Collins For most people, visiting Cape Cod is strictly a summer expedition. You pack up the car to spend a week in a little cottage down Cape, explore the beaches and towns and eat as much ice cream and lobster rolls as possible.

Andrew BurkeMFCC Intern The moment I crossed the Sagamore bridge and looked down at the Cape Cod Canal, I simply couldn’t resist the urge to wet a line. When I finally arrived at home for Thanksgiving break, I wasn’t in the house for more than 10 minutes before I was out the door again with my …
As the weather gets colder there will be more black midge hatches on the kettle ponds in Southeastern MA.
The stocked trout from last year will key-in on this food supply, and the new stockies will soon begin to figure it out…eventually.
