Fall River
is a crystal clear spring-creek -- it's banks lined by meadows
and lodgepole pine, and its water punctuated by a wonderful
waterfall. The river is open to fly fishing with barbless hooks.
Fall River is an outstanding contributor of brown trout to the
Deschutes River and provides excellent winter habitat for
numerous species. Its pristine water supports a productive
hatchery and contributes invaluable water quality to the
Deschutes system. Legal size rainbow trout are stocked several
times a year and merge with the naturally reproducing brook,
brown, and rainbow trout. Native whitefish inhabit the river
below the falls.
Fall River
is located in the Deschutes National Forest close to Bend and is
a very popular fly fishing stream. Emerging full-size from
rushing springs, it flows east 8 miles through rolling pine
forest and empties into the Deschutes River between Sunriver and
LaPine. The water is very clear and cold year-round, with steady
flows and temperatures. The river has a variety of depth and
structure and averages 25 to 50 feet across. Some willow line
the banks. The streambed is mainly of fine pumice, easy to wade,
but it can be very soft in places ... |
