Finally, as I am apparently the first roffian to witness Tim actually
catching a trout, I feel compelled to mention I saw him catch at *least* four trout
today, including two very handsome rainbows that he must've put fifty
casts to before getting that perfect drift...


so, you're saying that the swift is a trout zoo?


Think Hazel, but wider, slower and clearer, with a *lot* more and larger
trout, guaranteed minimum flows of outstandingly clear cold water, a
year-round food supply that at times puts rafts of bugs at the head of the
river - and relatively easy access.

It's fished hard, obviously, and it doesn't take long into the season for the
trout to refine their ability to ignore pretty much everything going on around
them - at least for 49 casts ;-)

Generally, there's always something in the water ;-)
