Current River Conditions: Expect a PMD hatch, a mixture of nymphing and dry fly fishing in the morning hours. Take a break in the afternoon and then return to the river for the caddis, baetis and finally hex hatch through sunset.
The Fly Shop's?? Tips: Swinging #16 Pheasant Tail nymphs trailing #18-20 black Zebra midges or WD-40s is a basic fly rig and a perfect combo to start with any day on Fall River.
Look for mayfly hatches after 9:00 AM through 2:00 PM.
Fish the "swing" with fast sinking Poly Leaders. Sometimes, Normans Wiggle Tail PT swung on a long 40' swing will get you hooked up! Don't forget to fish olive and/or black leeches.
The "Fall River Twitch" has been a popular and effective technique on Fall River for decades. How to: Anchor your pram upstream of rising fish. Cast downstream and across, then feed line out to extend your drift a long ways downstream. The "Fall River Twitch" results in a presentation that lets the fish see your fly first, while you are positions upstream and out of the fished field of view. 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. 5-6 wt rods are what we recommend for Fall River, with some anglers using 6 wt. rods for casting heavier sinking lines. The Fly Shop?? recommended fly lines; RIO Gold floating line and an extra spool loaded with RIO CamoLux.
