USGS gauge data is unavailable for Fall River today, so flow and water temperature cannot be reported. The river is fishing well — as a spring creek it runs clear and cold year-round, and current guide reports rate conditions Good heading into the heart of PMD and Hexagenia season.

Hatch Chart
| Insect | Size | Activity | Prime Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pale Morning Dun (PMD) | #16–18 | 🔥 Excellent — peak emergence and heavy spinner fall | 9 AM–1 PM; spent spinners drifting midday near Island Road Bridge headwaters |
| Hexagenia Mayfly | #6–8 | 🟡 Building — first adults imminent; nymphs active in silty margins | Dusk (7:30–9 PM); watch for big-fish surface boils at last light |
| Callibaetis | #14–16 | 🟡 Active — building through June in slower spring-creek sections | Late morning through early afternoon along weed-bed edges |
| Blue-Winged Olive (Baetis) | #20–22 | ✅ Active — reliable on overcast or breezy mornings | 8–11 AM; late afternoon if clouds move in |
| Caddis | #16–20 | 🟡 Sporadic — occasional evening flurries | Evening, especially after warm afternoons |
| Midges (Chironomidae) | #20–24 | ✅ Consistent — all day, especially calm mornings in still sections | Dawn through mid-morning; weed-bed sections |
Best Time Window
- 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM: Prime PMD emergence and spinner fall; dry fly and emerger fishing near Island Road Bridge headwaters
- 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Mid-day lull — switch to nymphs and streamers along weed-bed edges and silty margins
- 7:30 PM – Dark: Hexagenia dusk window building — position early along silty banks and listen for big-fish boils at last light
Guide's Tip
From the benchWith highs pushing 88–91°F this weekend, the PMD spinner fall will be your best dry-fly window — get on the water by 8 AM and work the headwaters above Island Road Bridge where spent spinners collect in the side seams. Mid-day heat will push fish deep, so switch to a nymph or streamer and target the shaded weed-bed edges. Most importantly, keep an eye on the western horizon each evening — the Hex hatch is right on the doorstep, and when those giant yellow mayflies start popping at dusk, position your boat early and let the big fish come to you.
