• Where to Fish on Cohasse Brook Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Survey and observation records for Worcester County include bluegill, chain pickerel, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Read Cohasse Brook Reservoir for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 70°F and January at 23°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Averages place the thaw at early April and the freeze at late December. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Cohasse Brook Reservoir to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. Part of this sits inside or beside Thompson Family Forever Wild Preserve, so read the notices. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Number Four Reservoir, 1.2 miles away.
