The Fall River is also fishing well and this week there were a few days of excellent Green Drake hatches to add to the excitement.
PMD’s throughout the life cycle, with a lot of attention to cripples (KD Dun!!!) and emergers (Film Critic and Winger) and Sparkle Duns and Comparaduns.
Henryville and Olive Elk Hair Caddis will double as Caddis and small Stonefly patterns. I recommend trimming the hackle flat off the bottom of both of these patterns to get them in the film and you should get more attention from the fish this way. Except for the Drakes, fish the small dries on 7x if you have the confidence with this light tippet. You will absolutely catch more fish on the lightest tippets.
Also, Hippie Stompers and Beetles, Ants and small Purple Chubby’s are good here. If it has Rubber Legs, give it a twitch and skitter to animate the movement on the fly.
Small Streamers and Heavy little Nymphs are awesome on the Fall River, and don’t forget your Egg patterns. The fish can turn off the eggs if they’ve seen a bunch of pressure with them recently, but with frequent restocking from the hatchery there are usually dumb fish that will eat the egg on most days.
