Mary Ann and I had the chance to get out on the Fall River in central Oregon a week ago.\u00a0 Our bamboo rods were a great match for the slow, spring creek waters of the Fall River.\u00a0 If you haven’t ever fished the Fall, you should add it to your list of waters-to-fish.\u00a0 The gin-clear waters make it great for spotting up fish, and there are plenty to go around.\u00a0 Try the uppper\u00a0section near the headwaters for some solitude, or venture out on the waters\u00a0near the hatchery for some great opportunities for rising fish.<\/p>\n

I took out a 7′\u00a0 6″\u00a0 5 wt medium fast bamboo rod, while Mary Ann chose her progressive action 7′\u00a0 6″\u00a0 5 wt bamboo rod to cast dry flies.\u00a0 We both rigged up with 50″ Furled Leaders from Cuttroat Leaders, and added 6 to 8 feet of 6X tippet.\u00a0 The combination work well, and we got into several fish throughout the day.\u00a0 There were plenty of rising fish mid-day with decent midge and BWO hatches, and small dry flies worked well.\u00a0 After the surface activity subsided, small nymphs suspended about 2 feet under small indicators continued to attract hungry fish.\u00a0 Here is a nice rainbow that took a #16 DD nymph drifted through a deeper pool.<\/p>\n
