I hit the Black River yesterday. What a beautiful stream.
The river changed a bit since I'd last been there: many fallen trees now cross the stream, forming numerous new pools that hadn't been there the last time I fished it.
Not many leaves down yet, so finding open water was pretty easy.
I managed a few rainbows, all on BH Prince nymphs #14. I also hiked up Trout Brook but couldn't find any wild ones; perhaps next time. All in all, a great day to be alive and out on the stream.

Re: Black River
I made a few trips there in the late spring this year and did very well, caught some small wild browns too

Re: Black River
The Black heats up fast once warmer air temps settle into the region. Spring is a good time imx. Glad to hear about the wild browns, too.
