I took about 10/15 casts on the flow side of the Ben Smith Dam. The water was moving very fast and was a little too high. Another fisherman was on his way out complaining of fast moving water. He was right. I was able to get a few nice casts in. Used a small silver/black Rooster Tail. On the way out I took a few casts up on the dammed side of the Assabet. Nothing – no bites.
I also took a ride by Butternut Golf Course and took a few casts in the brook. It too was moving at a good clip. I took at least 30 casts. Again, nothing. High water. Same lure.

- I fish. When permitted, I will fish in almost any body of water (fresh or salt) using almost any method; Bait, Spin, Ultra-light, Ice, Pier, Surf, Boat, Canoe, you name it & I'll do it. I also support catch and release. (Unless it's simply too big or too dead to release)
Would you drive on this road? We did.
This is the Lake Champlain shanty road in Port Henry, NY. 12+ inches of water on top of the ice. This picture was taken over a mile from shore.
