The Fall River is fishing well and access to the Tubes/Falls is totally fine now, so that will help spread the angling pressure around a little bit. Keep in mind ODFW changed the season below the falls to the later trout opener so everything below the falls opens May 22nd now. 

Hatch activity has been good on the river, with BWO #18 and Midges #22-24 and Caddis #14-18 all important. There have been some March Browns hatching too, so be ready for that with a MB or #14 Olive or Purple Haze is a good match the hatch fly there too. A Purple Hippie Stomper is a good early season dry on the Fall, and we recommend giving it a skitter for the best results. 

My guide team have been doing their best work on little jigged streamers. Eggs, Zebra Midges, 2 Bit Hookers and Perdigons are good nymphs to back up the streamers.
