Fall River is one of my favorites in November and December until the snow stacks up, and even then it is pretty good fishing, just harder to access depending on how deep the snows get.

Right now there is zero snow and access is 100%, but remember the river from the Falls to the Deschutes is closed until 5/22/26.

One of the attractions for me to the Fall River this time of year is it has on any given day the most likely best BWO dry fly action of any of the rivers. Since dry fly fishing is my religion this is holy for me.

I love so much to fish a 7x tippet and a cripple or emerging mayfly. It fires me up as much as anything in the angling world.

Besides BWO’s try some Griffiths Gnats, Orange Missing Link Caddis, Tan Edible Emerger Caddis, and Purple Comparaduns. We have recently got on board with a bunch of Euro Style dries like the Pliva. These simple little CDC dries are a good choice over picky fish. Have you tried any yet? They are also pretty hi-viz with the orange hot spot tied in the center of the wing.

This is another river where we are running our November Special and has good openings this week and next. $375 for one or two anglers, flies included. No lunch.
