the Hoosic River Watershed Assessment Report, Berkshire Regional
Planning Commission, 1998: " The Hoosic watershed has both cold and warm water fishery habitats. The Hoosic River itself is a mix of habitats. It is a warm water habitat downstream from the headwaters through Cheshire Reservoir, and becomes a cold water habitat from the Reservoir outlet to the flood control chutes in Adams, where it again becomes a warm water habitat for the rest of its length in Massachusetts. The North Branch of the Hoosic River is a cold water habitat until it joins the main stem in North Adams. The Green River is a cold water habitat until it joins the main stem in Williamstown. The majority of the tributaries in the watershed are cold water habitats. According to the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife, the watershed's cold waters, fast flow, and rocky substrate support an extraordinarily productive wild trout population. Self-sustaining populations of brook, brown, and rainbow trout can be found to varying degrees throughout the watershed. Game trout are also stocked in the spring in several waterbodies in the watershed."
