Fishing near Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge is Middlesex County through and through, Massachusetts side. Nothing is on the doorstep, but nothing is far either. Closest to the town line first: Charles River Basin reached in 1.6 miles, Halecyon Lake reached in 1.8 miles to the west, Jerrys Pond reached in 2.2 miles, Little River reached in 2.4 miles to the north-west and Lily Pond reached in 2.7 miles. On Halecyon Lake the margins hold more than the middle, so start tight and stay tight. Still, moving and tidal water all sit nearby. Work slowly along an edge instead of casting about. Winter shuts the surface here. Cold water slows everything, including the retrieve. Break-up on local water lands around mid March. Across Middlesex County, recorded fish include bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, yellow perch and common carp. Take the Massachusetts rules with you, since they apply throughout....
