I didn't have a thermometer with me, but it seemed warmer than that - maybe
low
50's. George might have the answer. I hope you're right, 'cause that would
explain the "missing" fish.

I was driving by the Swift today, so just for ****s and grins, I took the temp.
It was 50, mainly due to the volume of water coming over the top. Normally, it
would be in the mid forties this time of year.

Yeah, that's why I asked, the 'bows are usually still quite torpid this early
'cuz of those mid-forties.

I'm a bit surprised (but thankful) that the Quabbin is full - last time I
checked it was still in the low 90-somethings percent of capacity. I guess
that drainage caught a goodly amount of the deluges we had in March.

That can't hurt....

Amen.... We had low flow (30/50 cfs) in the Swift all last year, and only a
brief period of high flow the year before. This may be contributing to the slow
fishing there. Right now the flow is about 120 cfs, and may get a bit higher
before it drops.
