The Swift River is a tailwater in Massachusetts, listed as Designated trout water by Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), via MassGIS.
1 USGS gauge on the water reports flow; Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) lists 5 species, including trout, brook trout and largemouth bass. 3 guides and 1 shop nearby are listed here; the nearest destination hub is Western Massachusetts: the Deerfield & the Swift.

Swift River is a tailwater in Massachusetts. Our destination hub Western Massachusetts: the Deerfield & the Swift is 16 mi away in a straight line and lists it among its waters.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout, bass.
On the Coldwater Fisheries Resources (CFR) streams list (Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), via MassGIS, read 2026-10-20). All waters with this designation
Quoted word for word from the agency page on the date shown. Many quotes name the reach they cover and apply only to that part of the water. Rules change; the linked page is the authority.

Northampton sits by the Connecticut River in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts; the Deerfield River comes down below the Fife Brook dam through Charlemont and Shelburne Falls to the north-west, and the Swift River flows south from Quabbin Reservoir's Winsor Dam at Belchertown to the east.

Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.
At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.

Normal for Nov 5: 41.9–123 ft³/s (middle half of 114 years of record). Now: 124 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 124 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 114 years of record: 10th 33, 25th 41.9, median 59.6, 75th 123, 90th 189 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 25 ft³/s, highest 2,140 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (+0% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
NWS observed 2.87 ft stage, 124 ft³/s at Nov 5, 2:15 PM EST (NWS gauge WWRM3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
