Swofford Pond


Day 25: This idyllic spot is one of my favorite fishin' holes, and not for the reasons you might think. There are no homes along the shoreline (almost all of which is accessible for public use either on foot or immediately beside your vehicle) and combustion motors are prohibited on the lake, so it is a quiet spot. It is the kind of place which makes you want to park a lawn chair, prop your rod up on a stick and tilt your hat down over your eyes for a lazy nap. You may catch a fish or you may not. You don't really care when you're sitting here. Anyone worthy of the name of "fisherman" knows the truth of it: these times are not about catching fish...they're about fishing.
