Fall River has been having great hatches every day..but you have to actually be on the river to see them.  It's pretty much been a ghost town out on the river on most days...with the odd day of a blanket boat hatch here and there, but pressure is low overall.  At some point every day, there are hatches of bwo's and pmds, and fish eat these bugs off of the surface...and one can present dry flies to them and actually catch them....cool stuff!  This can last anywhere from 15 minutes to 5 hours depending on the day.  It's all about capitalizing on those windows of opportunity.

 

When the wind comes up, you can bump into a fish here and there using sinking line or nymphing techniques.  Or, you can head to one of the many other rivers in the area and maybe run into a green drake or stonefly hatch....good stuff.

 

Check out our blog for a great new speycasting article by Jonny, and pick up a copy of Sierra Fisherman and check out my article on single hand casting practice techniques...so you can make the most of those windows of opportunity.
