The Fall River remains a consistent and great choice for anglers now especially since it is the most consistent afternoon hatch of all the rivers in the area for the moment. Those hatches include BWO’s #18 and #20, and Amber Caddis #14-16 and small Midges #22-24 in black or red. Personally I haven’t seen red midges hatching, but for some reason a red emerger is a winner on these fish. Try tying some 22 Red Palomino Midges. They are so easy you won’t even struggle on that small hook! I tie mine with a hares ear dubbed thorax BTW.
The KD Dun for a BWO cripple will thrill the fish probably better than any other, and have some other emergers like a Film Critic and Stalcups Winger, plus Sparkle Duns and tiny parachutes when the fish are keyed on the duns.
Slum Lord, Soccer Moms and Mini Gulp are awesome lil’ streamers and fish extremely well on the Fall almost any day you go. Eggs and Tungsten Micro Mays and small Perdigons are the other 4 to focus on for sure, and a Zebra Midge, Mop Fly and Olive Scud play important roles in a fly cycling every angler needs to do on the days we can’t quite figure it out.
