The guide team tells me the Fall River hatches have been slower this week, and they were focused on small leeches and tiny midge nymphs along with Tungsten Micro Mayfly Nymphs, Rainbow Warriors and Euro Nymphs with heavy tungsten beads.
There are some PMD’s hatching mixed with Caddis and some small Yellow Sallies and even a few BWO’s. I wouldn’t go to the Fall River without dries, but I would go this week expecting more subsurface fishing.
Don’t forget what a good terrestrial river Fall River can be. Everything from Grasshoppers to Ants and Beetles is part fo the food chain in this little spring creek.
Stay late and avoid some crowds by fishing after dinner to dark. Swing a soft hackle or keep an eye open for Rusty Spinners at dusk. Even swinging a leech can get a nice a hook up, but it is also a time when the shade hits the water, and the humidity rises in the river corridor and that means a likely prime time for a hatch to happen.
