niveker 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2023 Fine with me, as I seldom fish the areas mentioned. Tom McGuane must have been fishing there when he said tailwaters are the great theme parks of American fly fishing, which is exactly how that section of the fishery is managed. Not saying that's a bad thing, just not for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redietz 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2023 I used to fish there frequently in the early 80's. It was crowded even then. I disagree that it's particularly difficult to fish, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFoster 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2023 I love the Swift and fish it often, the well known pools are always busy and covid seemed to have doubled the amount of anglers. But it is the best Brook Trout fishery in the state and fortunately almost everyone is after it's large bows and browns. When I'm there I'm targeting Brookies and that usually results in me fishing where everyone else isn't. Dan Trela is a great guy and a master on that river. I've fished next to him many times at the pipe (week days when there are not as busy.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
