The Pawcatuck River is a picturesque waterway spanning 35 miles from Worden Pond to Little Narragansett Bay, flowing through both Rhode Island and Connecticut. Created by glacial action approximately 20,000 years ago, this unique river supports remarkable biodiversity with 67 documented fish species—more than any other watershed in Rhode Island. The Pawcatuck offers diverse fishing experiences, from freshwater sections with trout and bass to brackish areas near the coast with striped bass and bluefish. The river winds through lush forests, serene landscapes, and historic mill sites, creating an idyllic setting for anglers of all skill levels. With relatively calm waters in many stretches and a variety of access points, the Pawcatuck River provides excellent year-round fishing opportunities amid beautiful natural scenery.
