Water Conditions: ??Good to Great (as long as the wind isn't blowing). The PMDs are hatching in the upper river there have been some good hatches of Callibaetis mayflies as well. Nymphing small mayfly nymphs and zug bugs under small indicators will usually produce some good fish, but dry flies during the middle of the day (10:00-2:00) when the PMDs are coming off is the bread and butter this time of year.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: The ??PMD Spinner fall is in full swing, supplemented by some bigger Callibaetis and a few caddis in the evenings.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??The "Fall River Twitch" has been the most effective technique on Fall River for decades. Anchor your pram upstream of rising fish. Cast downstream and across, then feed line out to extend your drift a long ways downstream. This way the fish see your fly first, and enables a precise presentation without spooking the fish. If you're casting to a pod of rising trout, work from the outside in and you can often pick them off one by one.
