Fall River below Fall River Falls reopened May 22, 2026. Fall River above the falls is open year-round. Fall River received several stockings in April, May, and June. Fly-anglers continue to report good and consistent fishing in the Fall River. Nymphing with midges and stoneflies and stripping small streamers with light fluorocarbon tippet are also effective methods. Anglers should keep an eye out for afternoon blue olive wings and midge hatches. 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.
