" I like tailwater rivers, not because they offer better fishing, but because they draw fly fishers away from my favorite rivers which are not tailwaters.
Charlie at it again!!
A River Of Bugs
The Ware is an insect factory, pure and simple. April will bring out clouds of caddis followed by Quill Gordons with the best QG hatch I've seen in Massachusetts being right here. All this is followed by our friends the Hendricksons in early/mid May. As you all know (YOU should know) the above hatches are all mid day Spring hatches with the hendrickson spinners finishing up by late afternoon. Summer has great evening fishing!!!
The Trout
Bows and browns are the game with the bows waving goodbye as soon as summer heat hits us. The browns will make it through the summer as long as there isn't a drought like last summer. If the water level is good in the Fall we get fish again.

The next three months will be great on this river. Pick a day and we will do it.

Last Spring I had some great days on the Ware, usually in the morning. Previously Ken showed me a number of places to go on the river and I’ve done a bit of additional exploring on my own. While you might see another angler or two, you will usually be able to move up and down the river hitting good pools and runs. As I think I’ve written in Ken’s blog before, there are some great areas well upstream from the Church St. bridge at the various bridges that cross the river all the way up and beyond Gilbertsville. They are closer to where I live, so I usually go there. It’s much more peaceful than the Swift and in the Spring there are plenty of fish. If there isn’t a hatch coming off, nymphs and small leech-like streamers (sorry Ken) work great on the brown, brookies and rainbows stocked there.

Thank you Chuck!!

Might have to take a trip there this Spring and skip the Farmington Hendrickson crowds! My father's favorite river was the Quabog. Don't hear much about that river.
I fished the Swift on Friday, and I was dismayed at the level of trash I saw discarded on it's banks. I wished I had a trash bag to collect some of it, and I regret not doing so. There was an obvious open fire pit just above the opposite side of the pipe where empty beer cans had been thrown into the river and left on the banks. Sadly, there were more to be found in the river and on the banks of Cady Lane. I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with people who do this. Next time I'm there I'll bring a trash bag.
Anonymous,
This all must be new because it wasn't there mid week. No fires are allowed there especially with the forest fire conditions that we have. Littering is never allowed. 800-632-8075 is the Environmental Police number and they do respond. Some may say that the bait boys created this but there's a fire pit by the Y Pool too!

Are you fishing the ware now?!
