The Swift · September

The Swift September Box

September on the Swift means low, clear water and trout that have seen every fly in Massachusetts. This is the box we’d carry: midges and emergers small enough to fool them, a scud for the bottom, and a Blue-Wing Olive for the gray afternoon rise.

Seven proven patterns — twenty-four flies — curated for this water, this month, and packed in a real fly box, ready to fish.
