The Fly Shop's Tips: The entire river is bordered by private land. There is no wade fishing on this river unless you are 20ft tall. A small pram, canoe, or aluminum boat are the tools of the trade for Fall River anglers. If you have technical spring creek skills in your blood, this is the place to go. Don't limit yourself to traditional methods either. Water level and temperature is always steady. Take sun screen and mosquito repellant.
