Rivers Month
Where to Find Your Fishing Adventure
June is National Rivers Month. Over the next month we will feature some ways to spend time exploring on the Blackstone River and our other local waters.
This weekend kicks off National Fishing & Boating Week; and with Father’s day just around the corner, we thought we would take a look at some spots to go fishing in the Blackstone Valley.
Festival Pier in Pawtucket is a great place to launch a boat if you are looking to do some saltwater fishing, but even at the pier you will see locals gathered along the riverfront casting lines into the brackish waters below.
Some saltwater fish you might find at Festival Pier include Striped Bass, Scup, and Menhaden.
Central Falls Landing is a popular spot on the Blackstone River for launching a small boat. Freshwater fish in the Blackstone include Large Mouth Bass, Redfin Pickerel, Bluegill, and Chain Pickerel. Catfish and Carp may also be seen. Fish caught in the Blackstone are catch and release only.
