Fall River
I was on Fall River for five days last week. Catching was tough. There are not alot of weeds in the river, mostly in front of Christensen's and Zug Bug. I did not see any pods of fish any where and the hatches were very slim. The river is on the dirty side. I did not fish below the Whipple Ranch and fished about a mile or so above Spring Creek. The further I went up stream the more fish I ran into. One norning there was a good spinner fall (BWO's) coming out of Spring Creek. I was on the water before 6 each morning and most of the fish I caught were before 9:00AM. The winds were brutal. Almost everyone was stripping leaches. Most of the fish I got were on the swing with nymphs. Very few fish on drys. I was only able to fish one evening that the wind laid down and there were no caddis at all. In the afternoons I fished Hat Creek. I think that the fish have not dropped down into the main river below Spring Creek yet and that the good fishing is a few weeks away. If I was to go back anytime soon I would think about fishing up stream maybe at Spiner Fall Lodge (Rick's). All that being said it was a good trip and a special place.
Fishing is always good, the catching may not be.
