Have picked up fish in and well past the next riffle, and had a horse of a fish break my 5x after running upstream at a good clip. Upstream of the pipe, there is plenty of good water - pools, riffles and runs - in several areas that will remain nameless, and all of which produce fish. Often I start at the pipe, but end up fishing upstream once the crowds move in.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-57388663703761431502012-05-01T20:18:29.749-04:002012-05-01T20:18:29.749-04:00Sorry of the typos...the last line should read...i...Sorry of the typos...the last line should read...is the anything worth fishing or is it better to move the car elsewhereMike Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144845687900266970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-64616599736287265132012-05-01T20:16:09.024-04:002012-05-01T20:16:09.024-04:00Ken,

A couple of times I have been there and with two anglers out is crowded.

A "Swift River Freshwater Bonefish"!!<br /><br />Brendan,<br /><br />The Bondsville section is very different from the C&R sections above and below RT 9. First, it looks more like a trout stream in the traditional sense than the upper Swift does. There are riffles and pools with rocks that change the currents. It is a great place not only because of the trout but because it receives very limited fishing pressure. Also be reminded that the water always remains cool even during the heat of Summer. It has a boatload of native brookies that like a dry fly.<br /><br />I like this lower river.<br /><br />KenMillers River Flyfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834066906971183890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-90731726169815634712012-05-01T14:48:35.314-04:002012-05-01T14:48:35.314-04:00I've always wanted to fish that Bondsville are...I've always wanted to fish that Bondsville area but never have.

No action near the pipe outflow, but there were a number of fish, including one really big sucker, that spread out upstream of the Pipe in very clear shallow water. I caught a young brown at the tail end of the tree pool which I thought was interesting. Have never caught brown trout in there. Also fished Bondsville upstream from Depot Street bridge which fished really nice with nymphs. Some good sized bows. Almost didn't recognize the water with so many new trees down.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461245170077475695.post-43847866620254192512012-04-30T20:30:02.731-04:002012-04-30T20:30:02.731-04:00Last weekend I caught a rainbow sitting below a po...Last weekend I caught a rainbow sitting below a pod of suckers.

My guess: they (the suckers) took a tiny nymph which was the same that the 'bows took. Maybe a tiny egg would take more 'bows. Who knows?
