Fall River: , by Dax Messett: Hex : 4 stars The hex hatch has been going off! My clients Dean and Clayton from Washington landed 4 very large fish last night on their first ever hex hatch. Pressure is very low. I've been out the last 10 nights, and the hatch happened on 8 of them, so it's pretty consistent. During the day the Fall has been kinda moody. There has been some great hatches on some days, nothing on others. Sinking lines and nymphing are catching some fish when there are no bugs on top. Pressure is extremely high on the upper river, mellow on the lower river. If you are patient, you can headhunt for very large rising fish from 10 until about 2 and search for the moments. My client Tom Donnely hooked and finally lost a truly gigantic fish, who ran him through his full spool of backing. The battle did not end with the fish in the net, but it was an amazing fish and battle.
Hat Creek was good last week, but slowed down the last few days. Powerhouse Riffle is crowded, shallow, and fishing good in the mornings for tricos and in the evenings for caddis.
The McCloud has been going off on some days, kinda tough on others. The best fishing is In the evenings and whenever the fish are looking up for stones and mayflies. Ask us about our camping options for the Mac.
