I was weathered off the lakes 2 of my 4 guide trip days last week and went over to the Fall River with my guys instead. It was really good. The afternoon BWO hatch was mixed in with quite a few Mahogany Duns and a few PMD’s and dry fly fishing was a delight! 6x and 7x tippet is important to success, and I prefer the Rio Suppleflex for situations like this.

Red Zebra Midges and Slumpbusters and Eggs are productive nymphs among many others.
As we move into later October the Fall River see’s a really pretty Amber colored caddis that is about a #12-14 and I like to match that with the Silvey’s Edible Emerger and an Orange Missing Link Caddis. We used both this last week and fish wanted to eat them even though not many of those caddis were flying yet.
