Current River Conditions: Reports have been great this week with a mixture of dry fly fishing, suspending nymphs, stripping leeches and swinging flies. Seems like all methods are working. Expect the good fortune Fall River is offering to last through the next couple weeks at least!

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.
