I got out for about 45 minutes on the upper end of my milk run along the South Branch of the Hoosic in Adams this morning.
The sky was overcast, with a temp of 22 degrees, and the stream levels were good.
I was just about to leave the first spot I stopped at after about a dozen casts, when my line stopped as I was retrieving it.
Initially assuming I had hooked up on a stick or a rock, I did a quick double take when I realized there was a fish on the end of my line.
After a decent battle in which the fish fought like a brown (i.e., steady resistance, with some head shaking, but no aerial acrobatics), I managed to beach a 15" rainbow, which (fortunately) I was promptly able to release unharmed back into the stream.
Despite walking, wading and (at one point) driving further downstream, and trying a half dozen other spots along the way, that was the only action for the day - - Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
