There is one that offers public access and holds some nice browns.

This winter we went up to Salisbury to see the ski jumping. On the drive up I took the back roads and my gosh I was sorely tempted to just go fishing!<br />Then later in the summer we went "paddling" (well rowing to be precise) on the upper Housatonic down to East Cornwall at the bridge. It was there that I caught my first ever smallmouth. On a little streamer. <br />Thanks for telling the story--inspires the imagination.gioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986185565639998678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-81020198696604802382017-09-11T13:56:10.169-04:002017-09-11T13:56:10.169-04:00Parachute Adams

This is the damage beaver ponds do - warm up the water, hurting temps farther downstream and breed the likes of pickerel to feast on the trout in the system. On the other hand, all these characters are natives and it is just nature taking its course.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777256373658774957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-88708536941380860792017-09-11T09:37:26.505-04:002017-09-11T09:37:26.505-04:00Wyeangler

I'm sure there are a few bass in there also. Big Flat Brook is on my list, and has been for quite some time.

He won't stay small for long.
