Fish Report for 4-26-2012
Fall River flows are steady and river conditions are perfect for the opener
4-26-2012
Craig Nielsen
Early scouting on the Fall River has been very promising. The flow is steady and the river is clear with perfect conditions. The bugs have been out and the trout are on them. With fair weather in the forecast and local freestones running high, we expect the opening weekend to be a social event as anglers make their annual pilgrimage. Fishing weekdays can be more enjoyable and productive if you are able.
Expect predominately a mix of Blue Wing Olives and Pale Morning Duns along with some springtime caddis. Before and after hatches plan on nymphing or swinging flies to fish that are active and willing. Locating pods of feeders and technical, stealthy presentations will be key. While flows and clarity are currently ideal, snow melt from tribs on years like we are having can sometimes silt the river and spoil the dry fly fishing, so we recommend scheduling a trip soon.
