Fall River - Fall River Mills, CA

The Fall River, Fall River Mills, CA, is a premier, fly-fishing-only spring creek famed for its large, wild rainbow trout. Its consistent cold, clear, spring-fed waters (approx. 50-52°F) support prolific insect hatches (midges, Callibaetis, damselflies). Angling success demands exceptional stealth, precise casting, and meticulous dry fly presentations during hatches or effective nymphing through weed beds. The highly selective trout require long leaders and light tippets. Access is often restricted to specific public points or guided trips on private lands. Regulations typically mandate single barbless hooks and catch-and-release. This technical fishery tests advanced fly-fishing skills.
