Starting at the cornfield, High Bank Pool offers good Blue Winged Olive hatches all season, particularly on cloudy days. Four pools all have easy access, easy wading, riverside tables, and panoramic views. Fishing on the lower beat is particularly enjoyable when the afternoon Caddis are on. The Hog Pool, a favorite of the larger Rainbows, produces Rusty Spinner falls all season long. This pool is our favorite for evening fishing.

A new English country fishing hut is now located on the banks of the Hog Pool, with a full outside covered deck.

I fished the mayfly season on the River Avon and Test in England this spring. In viewing their huts, we came up with our compilation of the best in England. Guests can take a picnic cooler of food and refreshments, and spend the entire day on the Hoosic.
