The heat waves are over (for now) and night temperatures are in the fifties.

The river is up a bit, but I'm sure it's still warm.<br />With limited fishing time available I'm not sure if I should try my luck on the Millers.<br />I might be better served spending more time on the Swift and learning what type of nymph this guy caught all of the fish on last weekend. After thinking more about it, the splash may have been from some splitshot that he might have been using.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-67007562368042098792011-08-17T19:30:40.686-04:002011-08-17T19:30:40.686-04:00My guess it was the weight making the splash not t...My guess it was the weight making the splash not the fly...but who knows. It has that effect for me when im fishing tiny nymphs even if I spin a tiny amount on tightly. <br /> Perhaps this weekend ill finally get the "guts" to venture down below rt. 9 on an exploratory mission and search for some of these more secluded spots. I hate the crowds above route 9 but tough to push yourself to explore when you only get 4-5 hours to fish, once a week. Been having steady success the last few weekends on the usual small midges...though patience and trust is required. Typically ill go a quiet hour or two...then a string of fish...more quiet...repeatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-44442744465577372632011-08-15T18:15:21.712-04:002011-08-15T18:15:21.712-04:00Anonymous,

There were about four working the Y Pool with one guy landing two in the short time I was there. I don't know what your lucky angler was using but the "splash each every cast" sounds interesting. Hmm...<br /><br />Shad,<br /><br />I hate to see you fishing north of us but location is everything. Don't forget the Swift or the Millers.Millers River Flyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834066906971183890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-14253554795265735442011-08-15T17:54:10.234-04:002011-08-15T17:54:10.234-04:00I only did the popular spots once, not a fan of cr...I only did the popular spots once, not a fan of crowds at all. Fished the Swift heavily last year but not once this year due to a move to the North Eastern part of the Mass. Was fond of the Industrial Park section on downstream to the power line crossing. Would fish it all day without seeing another person. And fish just about everywhere. I recall seeing a turn on the river with easily 20+ trout in the over 16" range. Only took one and the whole pool got spooked. <br /><br />Fished the Nissi, Squan, and Quinnie this year because of simple proximity.

At the Y Pool I could count 7-8 fisherman at all times. I watched one guy nymphing....he caught at least 20 big, heavy rainbows....but he never said a word, nevermind share what they were taking. Whatever it was, it was large...made a little splash each cast...and he had a wad of yellow strike indicator to keep it floating.As I walked back to my car, soaked to the bone, I walked by many more fishermen. I guess there was nothing else to do in the rain but fish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-59203491631139028442011-08-15T10:52:21.010-04:002011-08-15T10:52:21.010-04:00clearly below...that pool.

If this is the same plance, I've done well there in front of log jams and between the weed growth and before the bend. Am I think of the same place? <br /><br />I went about a week ago and was doing very well on Hoppers. I love the chance to chuck some big bugs on this river and the big trout slam them.Falsecasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566819638569527221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-26974416167837202342011-08-14T18:27:23.286-04:002011-08-14T18:27:23.286-04:00Anonymous #1
