General Information: Fishing has been good most days (especially if the wind isn't blowing). You will normally see the Tricos starting from 6-8 am and the PMDs and Baetis going from 10am-1pm, the Baetis will be more prolific when overcast skies prevail. Good Callibaetis hatches, too.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches: This is the time to join the 20/20 Club. The Trico hatch is starting and these small bugs seem to attract some big fish. You become a member of the club as soon as you catch a fish over 20 inches on a size 20 or smaller fly.

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. 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.
