27 Less trout 2/27/2020 12:21 PM
28 The variety of fish has dropped off substantially in what feels like a few quick years. I’ve 2/27/2020 7:10 AM fished this lake for 20+ years and rock bass, small mouths, and crappie populations have taken a large hit. Rock bass and small mouth bass in particular are now rather uncommon to catch. Fish in lake Quinsigamond are also stunted in growth. Bass and pickerel especially are much smaller on average and less active, which as the apex predators (given the very minute presence of pike and the loss of tiger Muskie from the lake) is not a good sign for the overall health of the lake. Perch population is massive. There feels like there are more perch in this lake than any other fish and dropping a neutral non-targeted bait (such as a worm) is more likely to net a perch than any other fish. Similarly, compared to other fishing spots in Massachusetts these perch are plentiful, but very small.

14 Start a share lunker program to improve the quality of the fish. Support large scale bass 6/27/2020 1:57 PM tournaments like you do for rowing events. Talk to other Chambers of Commerce (eg Ticonderoga NY) - they can talk you how they support these events and the revenue it generates in return. Ban large boats with wake boards that make 3-5 foot waves and swamp smaller boats or institute no-wake zones.. Enforce boating laws so the lake is not so dangerous. Add separate areas for people to launch kayaks so they do not tie up the boat ramps.
15 Cleaner water and fishing spots 6/26/2020 11:09 AM

21 Stocking lake quinsigamond would improve fishing and testing the water quality would also 6/9/2020 3:44 PM help. Fish also need enough vegetation for food and cover and make sure there is enough aeration so the oxygen levels are high and the water is circulated

running into lake. Areas between Flint Pond and main lake are gradually filling with sediment that covers gravel bottoms that may attract fish. Dredge these areas so they are returned to their original state. Reintroduce food sources (bait) that used to be in the lake. If fishing tournaments are only allowed on a limited basis or a certain number of times a year then the same should be true for rowing events. These make it difficult to fish the lake. Ban jet skis. Institute no wake zones.

33 nothing the problem with Quinsig is over fishing & over use. I have not truly fished it in a few 5/21/2020 2:30 PM years
34 make fishing docks for people who don't have boats 5/21/2020 1:18 PM
35 Sand bar in front of Coal mine Brook needs to be addressed. Not only is it a boating hazard, 5/21/2020 1:01 PM but fish have a difficult time entering to spawn during low water draw down. I believe that if this was excavated , it would improve the fishing and enhance the fish population. Years ago smelt could easily enter to spawn, now since the smelt population has drastically declined from the brooks access. Not only at Coal mine but the other tributary brooks that enter the lake.
36 Dredge the opening in front of Coal mine Brook the sand bar has really effected the fish from 5/21/2020 12:34 PM entering it to spawn

43 WHEN IT COMES TO THE TROUT FISHING, IT COULD GET STOCKED MORE. BUT 5/20/2020 8:25 AM THERE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH ACTIVITY ON THE LAKE WITH SPEED BOATS, CREW, AND JET SKIS, AT TIMES IT CAN MAKE IT HARD TO FISH.
44 Stop the Locals from littering and check licenses. 5/19/2020 4:58 PM
45 Police the only dock on the lake it's a mess when it's busy . Enforce the no wake zones the jet 5/19/2020 2:50 PM skiers are out of control This lake needs at least one other dock.
46 We need another dock We need to enforce the no wake zone. The jet ski people are out of 5/19/2020 2:48 PM control. Someone needs to police the only dock on the lake
47 More accessible fishing spots and parking. 5/19/2020 2:36 PM

50 Increase Game Warden activity. Bring back the stocking of Salmon in Quinsig. Increase the 4/28/2020 11:59 AM amount of public access for the shore fishermen.
51 Remove the weeds and make more fishing accessible areas to fish at all around the lake. 4/26/2020 11:12 AM Some areas are dangerous and hard to access especially when there is a lot of people fishing.

59 Ban jet skiis, create max horsepower law, control sewage spills and stormwater better 2/27/2020 12:23 PM
60 The number of boats on the lake at any given time is too high. The effluents from running 2/27/2020 7:15 AM motorboats constantly on the lake has really taken its toll in the form of invasive plants and clams (MASSIVE PROBLEM FOR NATIVE PLANTS AND FISH POPULATIONS). Additionally, run off from other sources should be considered as too nutrient rich waters is unhealthy for the overall environment. This could be from fertilizer runoff or other sources, but whatever the cause there are some variables causing explosive vegetation growth in the lake that is choking the life out of these fish populations.
61 Slow the other boats down, i almost get killed every weekend so i just give up in July 2/27/2020 5:28 AM
62 Stock more trout, control the weeds on each end 2/26/2020 10:42 PM

64 Ban jet skis 2/26/2020 9:29 PM
65 Ban jetskis 2/26/2020 9:23 PM
66 Stop chemical weed kills, it destroys the fishing. I also question the effectiveness of lowering 2/26/2020 9:15 PM the water in the winter. Slightly high water levels in summer would help fishing too, putting more cover in the water and letting fish hide under existing weeds in flint or half moon. Possibly a small fish cull or stocking program of big bass would be good too.
67 Stock it with more Bass 2/26/2020 8:54 PM
68 Limit pickerel population. Control weeds 2/26/2020 8:41 PM

9 N/A 5/20/2020 9:12 AM
10 I've noticed especially in Bullheads a blackish slick tar like growth especially around the mouth 4/28/2020 12:32 PM area. I assume once it hits their gills it kills them. I've seen it here & there on bass as well. I've caught Yellow Perch & Pickerel covered in black specks. Also have caught ssomeYellow Perch with small whitish seed like growths all over their fins & on their gills. Not sure what these afflictions are. I'd like for more public information on possible infections, diseases or afflictions one might encounter on the fish they catch. I think it is wise to educate our local fishermen on these and the best way to do that is to have the information posted at all bodies of water & information given as well via a pamphlet to everyone obtaining a fishing license.
