Big Bill Brook drains north through the working forest between the Old Forge town line and the Moose River Plains — logging road country, not trail system country, which means access depends on season and whether the gates are open. The brook shows up on the DeLorme but not in the DEC's stocked-water reports, so if there are brook trout here they're wild holdovers in the headwater pockets. This is scout-it-yourself water: pull a USGS quad, check the Moose River Plains seasonal access schedule, and plan on a spur road walk or a bushwhack if you want to see it up close.
