The Fall River was good fishing this week, albeit a smokey mess on a lot of the days. That seems to be way way better and I think this week is going to be quite nice around Central Oregon as the fires will again get a cool off tomorrow and rain on them on Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. Nymphing Eggs has picked up again, and seems to be one of the best flies the last 7 to 10 days. Nothing is spawning yet, so not sure why the egg is so good? PS- have you tried out our Brown “Egg”? Hatchery Fish Special!
Small Jig Streamers and Leeches continue to be great. Soccer Mom and Mini Gulp are 2 favorites. 
Rainbow Warriors, Perdigons, Jigs, Zebra Midges, 2 Bits and Micro May’s are fabulous nymphs to use. 
On the Dry Fly side, PMD’s #16 and BWO’s #18-20 and Mahogany Duns #16 are all good mayfly hatches. Remember to have the duns, but also an emerger and a cripple to work your magic when the fish get choosey. Caddis hatches can be something we miss at the Fall because we see more mayflies, but a Missing Link, Edible Emerger, Henryville, Iris and X Caddis in Tan and Olive #16 will be good for the next 6 weeks out there. 
Finally, don’t go w/o terrestrials! Hippie Stompers, Beetles, Ants and Chubby’s are all patterns that add fish to the net on the Fall. The Chubby also makes a great indicator and run your Perdigon and Zebra as a dropper off the bend.
