The Ups And Downs Of Tailwaters

 Kempfield Pool on the MillersTailwaters drive me crazy especially on a cold wet Spring such as we have had this year. The Swift turned into a freestone want-to-be with a 3 month flood with its flow overtaking rivers like the EB and the Ware. It is, as we know, an artificial river with it's flows mainly controlled by the guys who run Quabbin. Frankly, I like the Swift on days in the dead of Summer but I really love the freestones like the Millers, EB and the Ware on Summer evenings. They are not artificial rivers and are not crowded like the Swift or the Farmington. It is the way trout fishing used to be before tailwaters were invented in the mid 20th century.Freestone ConditionsThe Millers, Ware and the EB are perfect now!!  Try to hit them now in the evening which in the best time!!!Ken
