The Fall River is our other cold, clear spring creek we love so much. You know I write here often about beat the crowds and go early or late. And I know some of you are doing it. I did it myself earlier this week with an after dinner session around the Falls. I had the river to myself and caught several fish all on a beetle. I will say the next morning I ordered a simms bug stopper shirt and found my mosquito repellent to pack for a future trip.
FFP guide Troy is seeing some really strong afternoon hatches and consistent dry fly fishing on little stuff like PMD’s and BWO’s, and small tan or black caddis. Look for midges, yellow sally’s and little olive stone and always trust an ant, beetle, hopper and hippie stomper on a summer day on the Fall.
Michael was telling me last night he’s getting success from leeches and MOPS and small mayfly nymphs.
The streamer game is a lot of fun on this river as it can be a visual explosion of cat & mouse. Whether you strip streamers on floating or sink tip lines or tight line them on a euro rig it is a great way to catch nice trout on the Fall River.
