The Fall River will be a super good choice for Thanksgiving week fishing, with a little cooler weather coming in late sunday and monday, overall the weather looks great for fishing this lovely mountain spring creek for the week. Expect good to very good dry fly activity on #18-20 Blue Wing Olives, #22 Black Midges and some Amber or Tannish Caddis in #14-16.
There is so much good water form the Headwaters to the top of the Falls, but remember that below the Falls is closed to the confluence of the Deschutes now until 5/22/26. This I am not really sure why? On the Metolius the protection of redds for native redband’s is important, but what is being protected in the lower Fall River?
There are always so many great small streamer and nymph options here. A Perdigon (my favorite is purple, but certainly Brown and Olive are as good!) Pink Mop, Eggs, Zebra Midge, Micro Mayfly for BWO’s, Rainbow Warrior, Perdigons, Slum Lord, Jig Minnow and Olive Zonker will be top choices this week.
Cold mornings might delay your arrival to about 10 AM and fish until 3’ish.
For one more week we are offering the November Guide Trip Special for $375 for 2 people on the Fall and Crooked Rivers.
