Fall River ends its 8-mile run by flowing into the Deschutes River above Pringle Falls, not far from the LaPine State Recreation Area. Most of the river flows through public land, however, you'll find fences and homes scattered here and there. The further you go down river, especially below the falls, the more that private property becomes an issue. Mosquitoes, biting midges, and other pesky flying insects can be quite bad, especially if you plan to work a marshy area. Also, be careful of sinkholes and a quicksand-like silty river bottom.
Fall River contains stocked rainbow and brook trout.
Native browns, rainbows, brooks and whitefish can also be found in the river. The average fish size runs between 8-12 inches, but fish over five pounds are present. Fall River is a fly-fishing only body of water, but a few retreads violate this policy each year, so bring your cell phone and report them to insure their buzz bombs and Zebco's get confiscated. Hatches occur throughout the day, and many fly patterns work. Adams, mosquito, Cahill, and midges are all good choices.
