Test Your Skills on the Gin-Clear Fall River!

http://www.adventuresinflyfishing.com/fall.htm:

"Limited public access is only one of the many reasons that Fall River is so popular with spring creek fishermen. The valley that the river winds through is spectacular, with the visages of both Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen watching over the region. Wildlife abounds, with ducks, geese, otter, muskrat, eagles, osprey, herons, and deer (to name a few) all making their appearances from time to time along the entire length of the river. It can be difficult sometimes to concentrate on the fishing with all of the shows Mother Nature puts on around you.

The wild trout in the river, however, are certainly the biggest draw of all. The fishing is technical and demanding because of the gin-clear water, but with a competent guide these incredible fish become accessible to anglers of all skill-levels. We are often asked about the best time to fish Fall River and the answer is simple and usually the same: "Whenever you can get there!" The fish and wildlife are ever-present, and the insect hatches reliable. Anglers can expect thick numbers of PMD spinners starting in May, Tricos and Caddis all summer long, the famous Hexagenia in June and July, and great Baetis hatches throughout the late summer and fall."

=====================

Wow, this place sounds like a challenge. I like the fact that it doesn't get a lot of pressure, like much of the rivers up here near the Puget Sound of Washington.

Sounds like the best way to tackle this river would be to get ahold of a guide and let them show you the way to get er' done!
