Current River Conditions:
Great! Crowds are light during the week. After a so-so spring and summer, Fall River has finally decided to produce the quality fishing it is known for. For best results, fish #16 Brown Micro Mays, #16-18 Pheasant tail nymphs or #16-18 Black Zebra Midge. Look for rainbow trout holding in bucket like depressions between weeds. Although fish can be found rising in the AM hours, they are tough to catch on dries. Try a #20 trico spinner to get the grab off the surface. Nymphs are definitely working best as of today.
The Fly Shop's ? Tips:
The "Fall River Twitch" has been the most effective technique on Fall River for decades. Anchor your pram upstream of rising fish. Cast downstream and across, then feed line out to extend your drift a long ways downstream. This way the fish see your fly first, and enables a precise presentation without spooking the fish. The Fall River Twitch is equally effective whether fishing dries, swinging nymphs or indicator nymphing. If you're casting to a pod of rising trout, work from the outside in and you can often pick them off one by one. 5-6wt rods are great. Recommended fly lines; RIO Gold floating line and an extra spool loaded with RIO Deep 3.
