Can anyone offer information on bass fishing on the river? 

I know some who have fished it for Stripers around the power plant in Somerset, but that was years ago when the plant discharged warm/hot water into the river.  That was a long time ago.

Never heard of anyone fishing it for largemouth or smallmouth bass.  You'd have to go all the way to Dighton or Taunton to get clear of the brackish water, if it's at all possible.  It's possible there may be some sea run trout in the upper reaches of the river.  But that's all just speculation.

I found some information online about bass and striper fishing on the river, supposedly it's good. Of course the articles don't say where. I'm going to get on it and motor around this spring. If your in the mood to take a canoe ride let me know.

I'll be in touch when we get back from Daytona.  Sometime around March 1.
