The weather continues to cool off in the Fall River Valley and the hatching insects are getting smaller. The grasses have pretty much all died off and making your way underneath the bridges should be no problem. Callibaetis are coming off in most reaches, think size #18 or smaller. The Angler's Curse, Canis Mayflies, are likewise a predominant hatch during the mid morning along with a good Blue Wing Olive hatch most days in the afternoons. Blue Wing Olives are beginning to show in greater numbers in the afternoons. Water Boatmen are good to throw when no hatches are bringing the fish up top. Theo's Boatman or an Amber Bubbleback Caddis work very well when swung and stripped. Otherwise, nymphs like the Sweet Pea, olive and brown S&Ms #16 & 18, Olive Hotspot in #18, and the Red Headed Stepchild and RK Sin City in #18 continue to be super effective. Try some leeches fished deep for the large fish in cutbanks.

Hot Flies:  TB Drowned Rusty Spinner, PMD's, Norman's Wiggletails, Pheasant Tails, Mercer's Missing Link, Zug Bugs, and Leeches.
