General Information: Fishing has been good most days (especially if the wind isn't blowing). There are usually a few PMDs hatching in the upper river and there have been some good hatches of Callibaetis as well. Nymphing small mayfly nymphs and zug bugs under small indicators will usually produce some good fish in the mid part of the day.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:This is the time to join the 20/20 Club. The Trico hatch is starting and these small bugs seem to attract some big fish. You become a member of the club as soon as you catch a fish over 20 inches on a size 20 or smaller fly.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??The "Fall River Twitch" has been the most effective technique on Fall River for decades. Anchor your pram upstream of rising fish. Cast downstream and across, then feed line out to extend your drift a long ways downstream. This way the fish see your fly first, and enables a precise presentation without spooking the fish. If you're casting to a pod of rising trout, work from the outside in and you can often pick them off one by one.
