The water
Housatonic River (Great Barrington) is a freestone river in Massachusetts, fished for smallmouth bass, trout, pike, largemouth bass, panfish — brown, rainbow, brook. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
