Fall River below Fall River Falls closed to angling for the season on October 1 and will reopen May 22, 2026. Fall River above the falls is open year-round. Fly-anglers continue to report good and consistent fishing in the Fall River. Continued monthly stockings have replenished the Fall River providing excellent angling opportunities. Look for afternoon mayfly hatches and try ant and beetle patterns for dry fly opportunities. Nymphing with midges and stoneflies and stripping small streamers with light fluorocarbon tippet are also effective methods.

Restricted to fly-fishing with barbless hooks only. ODFW staff have noticed an increase in lures being used in Fall River and remind anglers that the use of lures and bait is prohibited
