Reservoir Number Six Fishing near Sutton, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Reservoir Number Six is listed under Worcester County, Massachusetts. Lake country bush runs right down to the water. About 14 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Some 2.7 miles away sits Sutton, the nearest settlement. East Douglas follows at 3.3 miles, then Whitinsville at 3.9 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Reservoir Number Six

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Fish documented in Worcester County include bluegill, chain pickerel and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Reservoir Number Six rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 24°F on the long-run figures. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count the season from break-up, usually late March. Climate averages put the opening at about late March and the closing near late December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Reservoir Number Six the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Reservoir Number Five, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Reservoir Number Six if anything is unclear.
