From the benchFall River's spring-fed clarity is both its gift and its challenge — drop to 6X or 7X fluorocarbon and keep your leader at least 12 feet long to stay out of the fish's window. Approach rising trout from directly downstream, staying low, and make your first cast count because these fish spook easily in the flat, clear water. Focus your morning hours on the slower, weedy channels where midges concentrate, then shift to the grassy banks for terrestrial action once the sun gets high and the air temperature climbs into the 70s. Evening is prime time for dry-fly work as BWOs and caddis come off — position yourself to cast to specific rising fish rather than blind-casting.
