Fall River below Fall River Falls closed to angling for the season and will reopen May 22, 2026. Fall River above the falls is open year-round. Fly-anglers continue to report good and consistent fishing in the Fall River. The spring-fed nature of Fall River makes it a great angling option during the winter. Nymphing with midges and stoneflies and stripping small streamers with light fluorocarbon tippet are also effective methods. Restricted to fly-fishing with barbless hooks only. ODFW staff have noticed an increase in lures being used in Fall River and remind anglers that the use of lures and bait is prohibited
