in my neck of the woods today. The fishing wasn't too bad either.
The weather was pleasant (sunny) but cool (about 50 degrees).
I got out on three streams late this AM and early this PM.
I fished two locations (the first in North Adams and the second in Williamstown) on the Main Branch of the Hoosic for about 10 or 15 minutes apiece - - and, although not exactly "roaring" in either one, the stream levels were quite a bit higher than I prefer in both of them.
Alas, neither location "produced" any fish - - although I did catch two tiny sunfish at the "Spruces" Pond on my way out from my second stop
Next, I gave the North Hoosic (which was also on the high side) in North Adams a go - - and was fortunate to hook and reel in a 12" brown on my very first cast in a backwater just below a "run" behind the Beaver Mill parking lot.
I tried a few other spots a little further upstream but didn't have any hits.
So then I hiked up Hudson Brook (which feeds into the North Branch) in the Natural Marble Bridge State Park.
At the foot of the chasm below the Natural Marble Bridge, I caught five brown trout ranging from 7" to 12".
Then it was homeward bound to spend the rest of the day reading in my hammock followed by a cookout in my firepit - - featuring chicken with diced vegetables sauteed in olive oil, dandelion wine and buffalo chicken sauce - - washed down with Boulevard Brewing Company Sixth Glass Quadrupel Ale - - and then (since I was still hungry, having skipped both breakfast and lunch) a grilled pork chop with sriracha mayo, accompanied by a glass of (homemade) dandelion/peach/pear blend wine.

Sounds like a good time. Great time of year to be out regardless of how good the bite is

Nice report. The wife and I might take in some foliage this afternoon, thinking about driving over Petersburg Pass to Williamstown.

Very busy here in Kent with leaf peepers. Hope they dont bring the 'vid with them.
