Arguably The Best Trout River in Massachusetts!!

[@keithporges-m4o]

For anyone wondering.... this is the Famous Swift River in belchertown. great place to catch your first stocked trout lol

[@ShootStraight84]

if you know you're way around

[@tylerdavis1283]

Mostly giant wild browns

[@eileenocb]

The beautiful surroundings and the polka dot fish are amazing but the beefcake isn't bad either. Happy fishing.

This particular part of the river (I won’t name it in case you’re trying to conceal it, despite the dozens of guys there on an hourly basis lol) is always kind of a hassle. You have that horrible rock wall on one side and residential banks on the other. Finding a spot to get down, especially in waders, is like 😬. It’s worth it though. It’s away from those “above the bridge” crowds and the fish are enormous. Last year I caught my biggest bow of the season on this stretch and it was a BRUISER…steelhead-like. The one caveat is that I wouldn’t consider this to be the best trout river in Massachusetts. The Deerfield River and the Millers watershed are my go-to’s when I wanna have a “no questions asked” good day. That whole area gives me at least a dozen double digit days per season and there are some KILLER native brookie tributaries if you’re willing to do a bit of legwork and research.

I fished this river 25 years ago. I just recall tons of fish but also tons of fishermen.

[@davepanichelle1478]

It is so good that you didn’t say the name of the stream. So many native trout waters have been totally destroyed by KZbin.

My fun spot 1:47 was the middle branch of the Swift River in New Salem.

[@callmedeejay]

Ahhh, the infamous "YesNOOOO!!" I am all too familiar hahaha

[@fishincommission]

Great video and great fish! I just subscribed….I started my own KZbin fishing channel a couple of months ago and I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!

I’ll forever choose the Deerfield over this place but still a great body of water

[@nathancallan9376]

Pretty sure that's the swift

[@durden91tyler]

Love that your out there exploring. Pro tip! Keep that right hand finger on the line after your cast so you can set the hook without even thinking about it. Love the content!

[@wildtky44]

Rookies

[@gillzlife865]

Yup, I let this kid know in my comment. Check it out, straight to the point.

[@kurthvonneguth]

What's wrong with that? Were you born experienced or did you also start as a rookie and then learn? People have to start somewhere

[@Jon626]

​@@kurthvonneguth we all start as rookies for sure. Some "googans" decide to pimp rivers for views. These are those guys.

[@d4nkscope]

@@Jon626who tf cares lmfaooo it’s just a river

[@TokyoNightGirlLofi]

💞Wow💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💜

[@DouglasLyons-yg3lv]

Not even close. If they stopped stocking and closed it to fishing while the brookies spawn. Maybe.

[@moralesoutdoors]

Hey bro, I'll be in town soon, do you want to collaborate

[@jonwilliams4047]

Please put the fish back in the water

[@tumblewheed5994]

LOL...these guys are beginners apparently.

[@d4nkscope]

What’s wrong with that?

[@As11_exe]

And?? What? I’ve never been fishing in my life they’re teaching me 🤷🏾‍♂️ if you’re more experienced why dont you make your own f ing video?

[@iMahree]

This is a great video wth you talking about??? We all learn btw!!

[@DPM-dp9on]

This place is a zoo and not my idea of peaceful fly fishing.

[@tylerfish6206]
