Fish Report for 8-16-2013
The Fall River is one of the finest spring creeks in the West.

Fall River shares many of the traits that make the Henry??s Fork, Hat Creek, and Silver Creek famous: predictable hatches, crystal clear water, steady flows and water temperature, sight fishing opportunities, and large trout that feed on small bugs. We fish Fall River from small flat-bottomed boats.
Fall River: 2 days ago, by Andrew:
Fishing is good on Fall River right now. I guided Jerry from Lodi and son Greg the last two days. We had some great moments, including some 18"+ rainbows eating dry flies. The dry fly fishing is really good right now. We've had opportunities on spinners and duns from 8:30am until the wind comes up, usually around 2pm. There are countless big fish to target with dry flies right now. The toughest thing about it is that most of them are eating spinners, and there are so many spinners that our odds are not great. Try spinner patterns that look a size or two smaller than the ones you see on the water. It's a mix of trico, callibaetis, and PMD spinners right now. The duns start to come off around 10, but get thicker around noon.
The river is a ghost town this time of year. Lots of fish and hardly anybody out on the water.
