Guys,
I grew up in Granby (MA), which is 10 miles to the northeast of Springfield. My dad says all of his chronies are catching BIG fish live-lining herring @ night in the Chicopee-Holyoke strect of the river. One guy got 15 a week ago tonight on the downriver side of the 391 bridge. All fish went 32-40 inches. From what I remember, it smells a little there, but the water is just fine.
Jenn, you might want to give the area in South Hadley Falls a shot, just to the south of the Holyoke Dam tailrace. The Enfield Dam is another good spot, but you need a CT freshwater license and it is very tricky footing there. If you want, you can email my dad; he is at rick@berkshire.net. Just tell him that I sent you his address and maybe he'll get back to you with particulars.
