Great trout fishing out here in the Berkshires.
It may not be a bad idea to pick up a salt water set up when you get out there. The Surf Casting fishing out there is top notch. There are tons of great tackle/bait shops out there. Everyone seems to be helpful and will normally go out of their way to get you set up and show you the ropes.
They get some big fish off shore there!
I'm not sure on the trout fishing out there...
