Replying to myself here, but I think the closest places would be Otter Creek and the Neshobe River. What I don't know is if there are smallmouth in those rivers (surely there must be?) and where a place for access might be best (wading). Thanks.

hi all, i'm going to be up in vermont this weekend and into next week. i'm assuming it's too warm for trout fishing. does anyone have a suggestion of a smallmouth river in the middlebury/brandon area? it's mostly going to be a family trip and visit, but i thought i'd sneak out early morning...

I saw the same thing in the Housatonic. I was fishing for smallmouth bass, but there were so many dead rainbows (mostly - I also saw browns, though fewer and smaller) floating in the water. It was ugly and sad. I don't know what to think about the fact that these rainbows are stocked fish; what...

It's farther away than Bomoseen, but Lake Dunmore has good large mouth fishing.

good work! buggers? olives? how did you get 'em?

closing on the new place on wednesday - hope to be staying up there (sans bed) next weekend. but you've got an open invite and the housy has plenty year round fishing...

thanks, standhyca. doc g, we've gotta hit that river - it looks great. hope you're well. r

Is it possible that they were two fish hooked on a tandem rig? I've never done that but I'm sure someone has. It seems so weird to me otherwise that both of you would see a trout snapping at another's mouth. Once is odd enough.

Guys, Thank you all for the information. I really appreciate it. I hope to be able to post some big fish pics in response...

Hi all, I've never really gotten around to fishing much in the winter before (or even post-season, late fall stuff). I've only been at this a relatively short time, for one thing. Butt his year I am determined to fish (almost) as much in the wintertime as I am currently. For the various year...

that brown in the 10th picture has incredible coloring. Nice work!

nice one! what did he take?

Hi, Fished the morning and the afternoon/evening on the Housy yesterday with a bit of religion in the middle. It was in prime condition (the river, not the religion). The water was mid 500's, clear, and cold. There were flies in the air pretty much all day, and much more thickly from around 3pm...

Yup! I was asking about the one we saw - it's in Dover Plains, NY, but it doesn't seem to be fished by anyone on this board (or who is willing to fess up). And speaking of the Housatonic...it was awesome yesterday. I probably had my best day of fishing, and that was sandwiched around religious...

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone fishes Ten Mile River a lot (or at all) and could give me some suggestions as to a good place to get started there, and any other tips you might have. Thanks for your thoughts. Ricky
