Fall River was stocked with new trout last week, notes George at Fly and Field Outfitters. Small streamers remain effective, as well as dry flies near the edges of deeper water.

Egg-layer
► A good strategy is to attach a small nymph, such as a size-18 Pheasant Tail, on a dropper leader attached to the hook bend of a caddis dry fly.
► Cream-bodied or olive X Caddis in size 14 or 16 should be in your fly box.
Pupa
Adult
► Evening hatches are common.
Trout
► A size 16-18 Parachute Adams or Purple Haze is always a good fly on this river.
► If you find the fish unreceptive in the stretch between the springs and the hatchery, try a 6X or 7X tippet and a downstream presentation.
► Because it's fed by cool springs, Fall River is a good option during hot weather. It will be crowded in some areas, especially near the hatchery. Mornings and evenings will be the best fishing times.
