Fishing in Franklin, MA area

I just moved here from Boston (JP) and have never really fished out this way. Do any of you know any areas that are good out here?

Not too far from Franklin is also Mirimachi (Plainville) and Neponset Resevoir (Foxboro).... Mirimachi is definitely canoe/cartopper only. Also, I think the marina on the Neponset Res (Heaton's) is closed, but you can canoe/kayak/cartop at the conservation land next to the marina.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Oh, and better yet, Gpinder, the canal is less than an hour away!

Lots of concrete slippers in Franklin!

Make it idiot proof, and someone will make a better idiot.
