Mascoma River Brown Trout prefer temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees farenheight. They like to hide in undercut banks, stream debris, surface turbulence, and under rocks. They are bottom feeders and prefer to eat at dusk or night. Nymphs of caddisfly, stonefly, or mayfly work well. Fly patterns of ants, crickets, grasshoppers, and "wooly buggers" also produce nice catches.

Mascoma River Rainbow Trout prefer temperatures between 55 and 60 degrees farenheight. They like clear cold-water streams with gravel or rocky bottoms, deep pools, and natural cover. They are found in fast moving water, often at the head of rapids or strong riffles, under vegetation and around rocks, fallen trees, or other structures. The bulk of their diet is comprised of mayflies, caddis flies, stoneflies and their larvae, small mollusks and baitfish.

Mascoma River Brook Trout prefer temperatures between 52 and 56 degrees farenheight. They like spring-fed streams that have cool, clear waters with sand and gravel bottoms and moderate amounts of vegetation. The food of the young brook trout is mostly small insects. Older fish eat larger invertebrates including many types of aquatic insects, sideswimmers, snails, and worms. They also feed on minnows and other small fishes.
