The Swift is currently running at 600 CFS. Considering a good fishing
level is around 50 to 100 CFS, that's pretty high. The river has become
"self stocking" due to the heavy spillover from Quabbin, so there are
salmon, lakers, smallmouths, rock bass, yellow perch, and God knows
what else in the river. There are a few people fishing the Y-Pool, but
with the water that high, it's pretty specialized fishing. There is no
construction currently happening at the bridge, and fishermen are
currently using the parking lot again, but that could change anytime.
This is an historic year regarding flows on the Swift. There have never
been such heavy flows in the Winter, so it's hard to predict what this
year's fishing will be like. If we have normal snowfall this winter,
followed by a normal spring rainfall, flows could well reach 1,000 CFS+
by late March or early April, and the Quabbin could continue to
overflow well into June.
Nine days until the Marlborough show......
