The Fall River fish were giving a hard looksy to our egg offerings. Fun to watch them rush over to it, and even better when one would decide to grab it! Eggs are always fun.
BWO hatches are sparse, but some fish are looking up to them. I also made some fish come up to eat a tan caddis emerger even though we never saw any caddis that day. At this time there is a lot of new snow on the Fall River so be prepared for driving conditions that the roads will not be clear and the banks will be covered in snow. Felt soles are not going to work, they freeze up and get heaps of snow on them making walking dangerous and difficult. Rubber Soles don’t do that.

I will tell you, Winter layering under waders is so important. If you can, the new Simms Fjord Pants are the greatest layering you’ll ever buy and wear and enjoy. They are expensive pants but if you fish in the winter they are so worth it. We sold 8 or 9 pairs last week to people we know that fish year round and got rave reviews. I wore mine this week too, and was blown away.
