I am a western mass boy though i am stuck in the grind in eastern mass right now...I talked to one of my friends back home and they said the herring are still around and after the nice weather the water is getting back to prime. not sure if the stripers will cooperate but I think its definately worth a shot. If you can handle the smell you should try launching at Bondies Island. If you want some action from shore try under or just above the Holyoke bridge on the South Hadley side. caught my first CT river striper there a few weeks ago...34"...with a lot more fish to follow. i think the key now is the herring...if you can catch them find some holes around Riverside...aka Six Flags...or even in downtown springfield. good luck and I would appreciate an update as I am headed home this weekend.
