The Deerfield has been back down to normal flows and we are taking fish on nymph rigs. Warmer weather and
some low pressure has provided some access to some big fish eating zonkers and buggers. We also have had
some good streamer fishing on the lower deerfield due to low water levels and warmer temps. Although we don't
guide the swift most of the year there is some good fishing to be had from the dam all the way to Bondsville.
