The Fall River is fishing pretty well
7-18-2022
The Fly Fishers Place
The Fall River is fishing pretty well, but it is crowded mid day with plenty of other anglers if you’re in the easy to get to spots. There are places to escape that by some longer walks, and by going at dawn and fishing to about 10 or 11 am, or after dinner and fishing to dark.
Euro Nymphs and Jigs, Micro May’s, Tungsten Zebra Midges, Pine Squirrel Minnows and Micro Streamers are all hot flies for below the surface.
On top, look for PMD and BWO mayflies, Olive Caddis, Yellow Sally’s and Ant, Beetles and Grasshoppers. A purple Hippie Stomper is a good attractor too.
ODFW has 1000 trophy fish to plant now (might have just happened actually) so there will be a fresh bunch of big fish to stalk now. I sure wish ODFW would make Fall River catch & release. I know its a mostly stocked fishery, but there are too many people fishing it these days for people keeping a limit and not leaving fish to catch for an angler tomorrow or next week.
