Big Sally Brook drains north through the Paradox Lake watershed — a named tributary in a region where the streams matter as much for brook trout as the ponds they feed. The Paradox Lake area sits in the eastern Adirondacks between Schroon Lake and the Champlain Valley, a landscape of old farms, gravel roads, and NYSDEC fishing access sites that don't advertise themselves. No species data on file for Big Sally, but in this drainage that usually means native brookies in the headwater stretches and bass/panfish where the stream slows before reaching the lake. Worth a look if you're working through the Paradox tributaries with a 3-weight and a willingness to bushwhack.
