Swift River - Cady Lane Access
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The Swift River below the Winsor Dam is Massachusetts' most celebrated tailwater trout fishery, with cold, clear water supporting exceptional wild brown and rainbow trout populations. The Cady Lane access is a popular entry point for fly anglers targeting the river's notoriously selective trout. Midges and small nymphs are the go-to patterns in this challenging but rewarding fishery.
