Recent rain has melted a good amount of snow, making access easier, but expect soggy banks and wet conditions. The fishing has been solid, with a mix of BWO and Midge hatches driving surface activity. When conditions warm up, don’t overlook the potential for skittering a Purple Hippie Stomper—it can be surprisingly effective this time of year.

If dries aren’t doing the trick, focus on subsurface patterns like small streamers, Perdigons, and Zebra Midges, or go with Eggs and pink San Juan Worms. Overall, the Fall River has some of the best fishing conditions in the area right now, so it’s a great place to spend a day on the water.
