I have never fished up by that park before on the black river but have once just a bit downstream. You could try there, like below the pond. Ive caught a few there but I was not fan of the trail as it was hardly parallel/connected to the river. Big steep slope at one point. The inline spinner tho is good choice with the pocket water there.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, the trail itself was nice for hiking but it was tough to get down to the river.


Also Billfish, that seems like good advice. Are trout not stocked up there by the mill? It's listed as an access point on the trout-stocked waters page, and has the trout stocking signs there too. The thing is there's a spillway behind the mill (through the creepy tunnel) that doesn't seem to have an easy way to access it, so it's possible all the fish just hang out under the mill or up under the spillway? Anyway, I'll definitely try the spot down by Hacklebarney State Park!
