Rockdale dam removal sparks debate on Williams River fishing
Anglers in West Stockbridge debate the impact of removing the Rockdale dam on Williams River. Optimists predict fishing may improve, while pessimists say upstream losses and drier holes hurt angling. Veteran locals cite changes in water depth, exposed rocks, and scarce spotty growth, with trout holes and crayfish noted in gorge pockets. State fisheries managers’ views remain sought.
