The Fall River has been getting a nice afternoon Blue Wing Olive hatch after lunch. A purple comparadun #18-20 or olive comparadun or sparkle dun in the same size mix is a good starting point. I love the KD Dun in #18 or #20 for picky Fall River fish.
PMD’s are about ready to pop on all of the Central Oregon rivers so add all of the above patterns in a Yellow #16 and a Film Critic too.
Midges and a few olive caddis have been on the menu at different points during the day. Usually midges are earlier in the day and caddis later afternoon and evening, but caddis tend to enjoy warm weather for their hatch days so this week might be slower on the caddis.
There has been some really nice fishing on a variety of heavy jigs, imitating leeches, minnows and nymphs.
