Fly-anglers continue to report good spring fishing in the Fall River although recent snowfall has made access challenging in some locations. Nymphing has been the most effective method. The river received its first stocking for 2023 the week of April 10-14.
A reminder to anglers that new regulations are now in effect for Fall River. The river is open to fishing all year above Fall River Falls and open to fishing May 22 – Sep 30 below the falls. Restricted to fly-fishing with barbless hooks only.
