Blacknoses are most common in surprisingly small, flowing streams. I don't know the Wormtown area well enough to say exactly where, but streams that would seem to have good brook trout fishing would probably also have blacknoses.

Though I usually have luck finding them in small to medium streams too warm for trout, they can be found in any river without larger predators. (they are in the ones with predators too, just harder to find). they can be found in fast or slow current but usually prefer a mix of open ground and rocks, They are not that picky though,

I don't know, maybe it was the roses.

Fallfish are very very common. In the river I have experience with them in only one small stretch has large fallfish (that I have found so far). I am not sure if they migrate when large or if only certain parts of a river has the conditions needed to grow big.
Note: While adult fallfish and commons have distinct body shapes, juveniles look very similar and can be distinguished by scale shape,
I have noticed how dace change color seasonally in ways beyond just breeding color, in colder water they get darker.
Longnose and Blacknose dace are prone to jumping. (fallfish are too). This can be reduced by adding current to your tank.

It's kind of interesting how the color changes dace undergo are a lot like those of some tree frogs- when it's cold they get dark and blotchy and when it's warm they become light and solid colored.
