Swift River Valley Fly Fishing

Here we are in the heart of the winter, more snow bearing down on New England but it’s always time to think of Quabbin Reservoir, the Swift River Valley and fly fishing!

I was pretty excited this morning when I received an alert about a fishing story running in the Boston Herald today (already suffering from cabin fever, how about you?) even though it was about trout.

(Trout are okay, I just happen to love bass, especially smallmouths!)

Anyways, the story was about an up and coming online businessman, Matt Lauzon of Gemvara, who expressed his love for the outdoors and fly fishing. This is something that definitely comes naturally to Matt since he was raised fishing the Saco River in Maine where he grew up.

Now that he lives in the Greater Boston area, he spends his available free time fly fishing around the Bay State but quickly notes his favorite trout fishing destination is the Swift River around Quabbin Reservoir.

Since there was a video accompanying the article, I decided to post it here so you could here what Matt says and not just my interpretation

Definitely brings up my thoughts of the Big Lady and the whole Swift River Valley area, how about yours?
