The fall round of trout stocking in state ponds gets underway at the end of September. Trout raised at Sandwich Fish Hatchery will be stocked into ponds around our area. The trout make fun catching and nice eating. Kevin Blinkoff, of On The Water magazine, says heading to the ponds is a great activity for a quick  after-work fish, or for enjoying the fall foliage while fishing.

Steve Junker and Kevin Blinkoff discuss trout fishing tactics in the audio posted above.

Here's a link to a list of ponds stocked with trout around Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard - not as many get stocked in the fall as in the spring, but there are plenty of opportunities for freshwater fishing.
