Lee Reservoir near Uxbridge: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lee Reservoir belongs to Worcester County, Massachusetts. It sits 21 miles in from the sea. Small at around 10 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Some 2.8 miles away sits Uxbridge, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Worcester, 17 miles distant. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lee Reservoir

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Worcester County cover bluegill, chain pickerel and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Lee Reservoir is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 70°F, the coldest about 25°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late March. On average, late March opens the water and late December closes it again. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lee Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Bazeley Pond is 0.6 miles off. Confirm access to Lee Reservoir locally before you travel.
