I'm not sure how much of the Swift you've fished, but there are some sweet spots
well downstream from the C&R areas. I can free up a weekday afternoon with
little notice, and maybe we could get a few others to do the same. Smells like a
mini-clave; we'll call this one "Mass Appeal".

Over the decades I've wandered down River Road as far as Cold Spring Road
looking for access and good looking water, but to be honest the water above
the Rt 9 bridge was always much more inviting, especially while that dam down
below had the river all backed up and too high to wade well.

Mass Appeal sounds about right, now all we need is a break in this soggy
weather. Radar shows the sky just west of us riddled with bogies...

Ahhhh. . . but there are also a few sweet spots not on River Road. . .

How about Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Yeah. It looks like the weather for the next few days will suck, but, hey, it's
New England so that'll change soon. Any day but next Tuesday I should be able to
catch a break. Keep it in mind. Bring beer.

You might be interested to know that we have a project under way to remove
that rubble pile (sometimes called Iceman's Dam, but really the remains of a
stone bridge). Work may begin this fall. Permits are lining up.

Access to the lower section is easier than you think...

Geeze, that's proceeding at a glacial pace. Weren't we conspiring to drag out
the blowdowns that piled up there years ago?

No doubt you folks could give me a sound education. I'd like that :-)

when he wants to lost a few pounds and it seems to work for him.

Tim, regarding Mass Appeal. Next Wed I am off, but I could make it to
the Swift by 3pm on most days except Fri, depending on workload.

That's one *hell* of a caveat, Gary! g The best fishing is from 3:00 on
anyway, but a lot depends on how much water people want to see. My guess is that
everyone has fished the "secret spot" already, so we could meet there and decide
as time goes by. On any given day, the C & R spots can be vacant or crowded - no
telling till we get there. Hell, if *all* of us show up, it'll be crowded if no
one else does! I've seen all of the water and can get to it within a few minutes
from home, so I'll just play to the crowd.

Let's shoot for Weds/Thurs, picking the best day depending on the weather. Stan?
George? 'tripper? Mr. LaCourse? Handyman? Bueller?. . . , Bueller?. . . ,
Bueller?. . . ,Anyone?

Now, I've got to go and get busy losing about 40 pounds before then so you
assholes don't show me up.

From: GaryM

With S. Beach salads, lean meats and veggies are
encouraged which makes it a healthier diet than Atkins, or so they
claim.

Actually Atkins encourages veggies and salads as well, but only those with low
carbs. They suggest a green salad which would provide most of the allowed
carbs, as well as roughage. Othe veggies I ate were snow pea pods and
asparagus, two of my favorites.

I think many folks who try Atkins are afraid to include enough fat in the diet.
You have to lose the old "pyramid" concept, and include enough fat to replace
the carbs, otherwise your energy level will go to hell in a handbasket.

Although I could never adapt to Atkins full time, (too restrictive and very
boring), while I was on it, all of my cholestrol and triglyceride numbers were
good, and I recorded the lowest blood pressure, (114/56), of my adult life.
Also, by eliminating added sugar, most refined flour, and by instituting
portion control, I have avoided the "rebound effect" that has been reported
following Atkins, and , in fact, have continued to lose weight, albeit at a
much slower rate.

Tim, regarding Mass Appeal. Next Wed I am off, but I could make it to
the Swift by 3pm on most days except Fri, depending on workload.

I can usually get away after 3:00 PM on weekdays, as well.

I had a feeling it might be. I've done a little troutfishing in mid-
July in New England. By the way, what bugs are on the water these days?

Most caddis (tan, gray, brown), sulphurs, March brown, light Cahill are all
doing well. Attractor patterns (Adams, Wulffs) have a lot of success, too. The
usual suspects as far as nymphs are concerned (GRHE, PT), and GRW and/or green
weenies may be the ticket soon. I fished a few gasp streamers a week or so ago
and came up with a couple of brutes. I'll try to get out between now and then
and get the latest news. George - can you add to this?

BTW, tree branches are out in force, so bring something to roll cast. :)
