I fished the South Hoosic for an hour this evening.
Mostly sunny, 70 degrees.
I started by Mullen Mayflower and the hole by the tree with the gnarly roots. Nothing.
I crossed the stream and hiked north (downstream) along the Bike Trail to Burnett Bednarz Bridge, where I caught a 9 rainbow.
I headed further downstream along the Bike Trail and tried the hole above the footbridge. Nada.
I waded under the footbridge and had a few taps, but whatever it was wouldn't commit.
I walked back to my car and drove south (upstream) to Cheshire Harbor, where I tried just below the dam.
Lo and behold, I landed not one but two 5" bullheads.
This was surprising, to say the least, because in 25+ years of fishing the Hoosic (all three branches), I have NEVER caught a bullhead.
