bumpylemon----the French River is a pretty good fishery. It holds just about every fish that you have in that state, except wall-eye." The river is fished along its entire length, but both the Little River and Lowes Brook are considered prime fishing spots.
if theres trout i am sure its full of other fish.

i agree. well to a degree. only thing ive caught out of there are suckers, blacknose dace,fallfish and perch....thats it. there are madtoms. the issue is the state is already lacking species to begin with. in little river right at the damn ive caught pickerel and sunfish. right now im hunting madtoms and spottails. i think spottails are absent from there but are nearby in the quinebaug and ware rivers.


how do you know so much about this area? lol. do you know places on the french that are seinable? most spots ive found are rather deep in the little river.


i cant find Lowes Brook. there is a lowes pond though.

here are some excerpts from some papers that i have on sampling from my area.

MA DFG conducted fish population sampling in the French River downstream of ____________________) on 22 July 2004 using backpack electroshocking equipment. A total of 174 fish were collected. Seventy-five fallfish, forty-one largemouth bass, twenty-five blacknose dace, twenty white sucker, seven tadpole madtom, and six bluegill were collected (Richards 2006). The majority of fish collected are categorized as fluvial specialist/dependent species and all are moderately tolerant or tolerant of pollution. The presence of largemouth bass, a macrohabitat generalist species, is likely the result of the impoundments located within this segment.

MA DFG conducted fish population sampling in the French River north of a________________) on 13 September 2005 using backpack electroshocking equipment. A total of 328 fish were collected; fallfish made up the majority of the fish population (n=160) (Richards 2006). The sample was also composed of sixty common shiner, thirty-six white sucker, seventeen blacknose dace, seventeen largemouth bass, twelve yellow bullhead, five bluegill, three pumpkinseed, one brown bullhead, and one American eel (Richards 2006). MA DFG fish biologists noted that the water level was very low (Richards 2006). The majority of fish collected are categorized as fluvial specialist/dependent species and all are moderately tolerant or tolerant of pollution



lacking from the french seems to be the tessellated darter and spottail shiners. my goal for this summer locally are spottails and tadpole madtoms. its very frustrating living in charlton right next to the french and still being able to not find one. tomorrow i will be on the hunt!

You can always head up to New Hampshire. Apparently tad mads in NH were introduced here in one pond in concord then spread to the merrimack river from their. One pond can likely narrow the search down immensely.

i found lowes brook. im going to try those places out right now.

if theres trout i am sure its full of other fish.

If the trip was a week later, I would ask to join you.

We have Paint Creek in Oakland County, MI. Since it is fed by a bottom flow dam, the water is cold. There are few non-trout. By abundance - Sculpin, trout, nothing, nothing, nothing, White Suckers, Northern Hognose, Fantail Darters, Stickleback.
