Fish Report for 5-15-2022
Plenty of fish all over the river and good hatches
5-15-2022
The Fly Fishers Place
The Fall River is good, with plenty of fish all over the river and good hatches for dry fly fishing as well as very good nymph and streamer opportunities. PMD hatches are ramping up and certainly bring your green drakes to the Fall River for a good chance at an afternoon hatch. I love seeing those big flies on small water, and love watching fish rise for them in such clear water.
Caddis are important hatchers now too, with Tan and Olive low floting patterns in a size #16 your best overall match. Don’t forget the pupa’s before and during the hatch too.
Ants and Beetles are getting on the water more now as they become more active this spring. These make good searching dries. The Hippie Stomper is one of our absolute favorites.
Getting deep with a Jig, Perdigon or Tungsten Egg will be great, plus Micro Mayflies, 2 Bits and Skinny Nelson’s.
