A reliable producer, Fall River should fish well all month for stocked rainbow trout (above the falls) and stocked and wild rainbows and browns below the falls. It will be a busy place, however, especially at the park around the fish hatchery.

Midges, caddis, and pale morning duns will dominate the hatch scene. For the midges, try a Sprout Midge or a Griffiths Gnat. A Renegade is another fly to try. You may need a 7X tippet and a downstream presentation. You might see some caddis, so carry a few cream-bodied or olive X Caddis in size 14 or 16 in your fly box. A size 16-18 Parachute Adams is always a good fly on this river.
