Current River Conditions: Fishing has been good! We have perfect conditions for the Hex hatch on Fall River! The hot weather this week has done wonders for the evening Hex hatch. Fishing has been productive! More than a few amazing reports have come out of Fall River again this week. You are in for a great time!
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. 5-6wt rods are what we recommend for Fall River, with some anglers using 6wt. rods for casting heavier sinking lines. The Fly Shop?? recommended fly lines; RIO Gold floating line and an extra spool loaded with RIO CamoLux.
