Fall River: , by Dax Messett: up and down: 3 stars

Fall River has been all over the place the last 3 days or so.  I had a great caster in Dianne Morell on a day where I had to bust out a down jacket and winter hat.  Fishing was tough, but she still got a few nice fish thanks to her good casting.  The hex didn't happen that night.  It wasn't very good last night either, but the hot weather we are now having and forecast for next week should make for a more consistent hatch throughout the river.  Yesterday my client Chris boated two fish over 20 inches and busted off a few other fatties. This morning I had a few hours of productive dry fly fishing.

Beware of all the kooks out there with no lights during the hex hatch. Again, if you are renting a boat from that operation that doesn't provide lights, go to Shasta Angler in town and pick some up from Matt, and have them reimburse you.  Seriously, it is dangerous and illegal being out there in the dark with no lights, both for you and other anglers.  It doesn't matter how far you are going, just have them please, and avoid a ticket and looking like an inconsiderate knucklehead to other anglers.  Thanks:)

Chris landed this 23 inch epic fish...I didn't let him hold it because he dropped a 20 incher
