The Fly Fishers Place
The Fall River is quite good all the way from the Headwaters to the Falls. REMEMBER the FALLS downstream to the Deschutes are now CLOSED until May 22nd. The Falls up to the hatchery and from there to the Campground and Falls is open all year.
BWO’s are the main hatch of mayflies, but like all the rivers in our region this time of year, PMD’s yell that they are not done yet, and Mahogany Duns are just getting rolling for their autumn spurt! Caddis are important in the Fall and Silvey’s Edible Emerger and Mercer’s Missing Link Caddis (don’t overlook the hot orange version) and some Tan CDC caddis will do the trick. Don’t forget the Midge hatches and that Ants and Beetles will be productive on our warmer days coming up soon too.
Micro Streamers, Eggs and Jigs are super good on the Euro Nymphing Rod.
