Gonna try Farrington

Gonna give Farrington a shot on Wednesday. Any tips? Will a trout go after a shiner? Never tried that before.

WATERBODIES PROPOSED TO BE DROPPED FROM THE DIVISION'S TROUT STOCKING PROGRAM
Farrington Lake (Middlesex) - Large lakes, such as Farrington Lake, yield lower return rates for trout resulting in low angler success and interest comparative to their size. Due to the large size of the lake and the limited number of trout raised by the State, the trout allocation formula allocates less than 3 trout/acre, which is significantly less than smaller waterbodies that can be stocked at higher densities and often result in higher angler catch rates. To improve their success, the majority of anglers fish the stream that feeds Farrington Lake at the base of the next upstream dam. This upstream reach is actually part of Lawrence Brook which is currently stocked by the Division below the lake. The Council proposes to no longer stock Farrington Lake, from the Church Lane bridge downstream to the Farrington Lake dam, but plans to continue to stock upstream of the Church Lane bridge up to Davidson's Mill Pond dam as part of Lawrence Brook (see redefined boundary delineation for Lawrence Brook). Farrington Lake supports a variety of warmwater fish species and will continue to provide excellent fishing opportunities for species other than trout.
