Stream Flow Information
Before selecting a river or stream to fish, it is helpful to know information, such as how much water is flowing. Select a river gauge from a USGS stream flow page so you can tell how much water is flowing; whether the flow is rising or falling; and how the current flow compares to the long-term average for this date. Or dial the flow-phone for certain dam-controlled rivers in Massachusetts. In general, it is good to fish a falling flow, especially in the spring. In the late summer and early fall, a rising flow can bring big fish into rivers from the lakes for the fall spawning run.

Fishing Ponds and Lakes
A great resource for finding ponds and lakes to fish is the Freshwater Guides of New England. These are a series of books that are a wealth of information about ponds and lakes. I wrote an article that appears on their website and in the nine New Hampshire regional guides.
