Fresh Water Fishing
Anglers seeking fresh water fishing action don’t have to look far while in
Rhode Island. Our many rivers, lakes and ponds provide a wide variety of fresh
water gamefish such as Largemouth bass, Northern Pike and Crappie. Trout and
landlocked Salmon are stocked in waters throughout the state. Scenic rivers such
as the Wood, Pawcatuck, Moosup and Falls located in southern Rhode Island, offer
premier trout fishing throughout spring, summer and fall.
Salt Water Fishing
From shore or boat, Rhode Island is a fisherman’s paradise. The diversity and
abundance of gamefish found in Rhode Island waters, combined with the ease of
accessibility of our shoreline provides angling excitement throughout the year.
Bluefish and Striped Bass are the most common sportfish, both inshore and
offshore. The bluefish, considered by many to be the finest fighting fish in the
Atlantic, can be caught from May through November. These voracious feeders
average 4 to 6 pounds, with 11 to 15 pounders not uncommon, especially in the
Fall. Equally revered is the striped bass. Found all along our shores,
particularly in rocky areas and in estuaries, salt ponds and rivers, this
fighter can reach up to 65 pounds, with many 40+ pounders caught each year.
For offshore action, anglers can pursue several species of tuna, hark and cod.
Also, prized billfish such as white and blue marlin and swordfish are caught
annually. What makes Rhode Island offshore fishing so good is its relative
closeness to the canyon fishing on the fertile Continental Shelf, allowing more
time for fishing and less time spent traveling.
From beginners in the sport, to experts seeking big game species, or to ultra-light tackle and fly rod enthusiasts looking for world records - Rhode
Island has it all. Whether in the tranquil waters of Narragansett Bay, in the
surf of Block Island Sound or in the deep Atlantic, angers will find year round
pleasure in the abundant salt waters of the Ocean State.
