The Fall River is one of my favorite places in November and it is certainly fishing well enough to warrant that accolade.
The afternoon BWO hatch is quite good about noon now. Look for them plus some #22-24 black midges and some amber #14-16 caddis that you’ll want a Silvey’s Edible Emerger and an Orange or Yellow Missing Link to match.
DO not forget your 7x tippet! If that freaks you out, try the Trout Hunter 6.5X. It truly makes a difference in your drift and how the fish decide to rise or not to the fly and results in less refusals. I think refusals are fun, to a point. But not every fish. Eat it.
Eggs, Jigs and Perdigons are all hot as are small Euro Streamers for most of the day, or on days the hatch is slow for whatever reason.
