I went prospecting along the South Hoosic in Adams from 10 to 10:45 AM, and though I didn't catch a glimpse of gold, I did reel in a rainbow.
The morning was rainy and cool (48 degrees), and the stream was high, but not outrageously so.
My usual go-to spots didn't produce, but fortunately an underperforming one (which looks good but only seems to hold fish maybe 1x in 40) yielded a nice 14" rainbow.
