Five Bows and a Brown
« on: Aug 08, 2018, 04:41 PM »
I got out on the South Hoosic in Adams for an hour and a half late this afternoon.

Cloudy, humid, light sprinkles most of the time, with temps about 75 degrees.

Water was up, and going at a decent clip, but not roaring.

I started around Mullen Mayflower, and caught a 16" rainbow on my first cast.

A little further downstream, I caught a 14" bow by the footbridge.

By Old Stone Mill, I landed another rainbow, about 12".

Then I hooked and reeled in a 10" bow just above the small cement roll dam above Elm Rock.

At Elm Rock itself, I hauled in my sole brown of the day, at a whopping 10".

Finally, a few minutes after losing a 13" rainbow the first time it struck (and dug down like a brown) and snapped the line near the hook, I caught the same fish a little below the small waterfall downstream from Elm Rock

Nice jobs bogs  :tipup:
Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in awell preserved body; but rather to skid in side ways totally worn out shouting (holy sh*t)  WHAT A RIDE! FISH ON!.

Nice work Jim.  Do any of those spots see a hatch?  Any trout rising?

No, I didn't see any hatches or rises - - for some reason I generally don't on the Hoosic - - unless you count the first trout I saw rising to the surface as it chased my bait as I was reeling it in.

In wondering if I could match those numbers with the flyrod.  One day we may have to meet up in your neck of the woods.
