Make Reservations For The Swift
As predicted the DFW came through and stocked the Swift on July 1. I saw a couple of double digit days yesterday but we must remember that these are freshly minted fish and are dumb as stumps. In two weeks they'll wise up and will be sipping 28's and not playing with WB's and streamers like now. Also, they seem to be podded up. Maybe we'll get a spike in the flow or maybe someone will wade through the school and scatter them.
If the crowds are too much then go exploring. I have a spot I like to call the Spring Creek because it looks like one. Wide, slow and shallow it is the home of brookies,browns and bows and not in the concentrations found in the usual places. It is dry fly land where ants and beetles rule. At least yesterday morning it did.
Happy 4th!!

Thanks for the report Ken! Are they only below Rt. 9, or have they started pushing towards the Y-Pool?

Scott,
They are everywhere. Stocking was done from the Y Pool down to the power lines and beyond. The Pipe area has plenty of fish.

Thanks Ken! About time they put some fish back in the Swift! I'm guessing until next weekend these fish will be caught and caught on anything... and then nothin' but size 32's!
