The river is in great shape, and with this weather we have been getting it should only get better by spring. If conditions are right, I … [Read more...]

September And October On Fall River

September and October on Fall River | Art Teter Fly Fishing

Fishing in the fall or Autumn on Fall River can be a real treat. Its at that time of year that the colors change, temperature drops and we start to get Indian summer days. The waters start to go into a metamorphosis, it’s the final change of weather before winter. If the cycle makes the full change (if we don’t go into a drought) Then everything changes with it. The bugs change, water temperature changes, and the time of day when the window of opportunity is best changes also. It’s a good time … [Read more...]

How To Trick Summertime Trout

Art Teter - Fall River Fly Fishing

When the heat picks up a lot of anglers give up on fishing. Just because the temperature picks up does not mean the fishing has to stop. Trying to trick summertime trout does not have to be as hard as people make it out to be. First you must have reasonable expectations as to how your day will go. Obviously early and late in the day are your better windows of opportunity. So now you need to think a little bit differently. Every body of water is going to have its own personality and no two … [Read more...]

Fly Fishing Secrets: What Is A Transitional Gradient?

Art Teter Fly Fishing Guide Service

Most anglers have a favorite water that they would rather fish if given the chance. Me, I don’t have a favorite lake, stream, river or pond. Instead I like certain situations, a certain piece of water that challenges me. I tend to look for these places when fishing on my own. I will pass up water that I know I will catch fish in just to challenge myself. Whether it is a lake, river, or pond I will find a challenging aspect to keep my interest up. One of my top five favorite is a … [Read more...]

Reading The Water (Part 2)

Fall River Rainbow Trout - August 2017

Being able to read the water and do it correctly is a true talent. I can tell what type of angler you are by looking at your leader, watching you fish, and the water you pick to fish. What people don’t understand is that you need to be able to read the water and match what you are reading to the technique you are using. I find that anglers like to pick a method of fishing and then fish all the water around them with that method. They catch fish in water that is conducive to the method of choice … [Read more...]

Reading The Water

Read the water - fall river -art teter fly fishing

There are many different facets to fly fishing. So many that learning them all in one lifetime is close to impossible. Once you think you have mastered trout fishing, someone then takes you steelhead fishing and everything changes. Now think about adding salt water fishing, bass fishing, and maybe some salmon fishing. Then you have fly tying in all its glory with different fly patterns, materials, hooks and other paraphernalia. So, you can never stop learning. Master one and a new one … [Read more...]

Right Fly Wrong Design

Mayfly Nymph - Baum Lake - Art Teter Professional Fly Fishing Guide

Dry fly selectionUsing the right fly is definitely a big plus when it comes to catching fish. And using the correctly designed fly helps even more. So, what does that mean and how does it apply to your fishing. Take the common May Fly, and the basic stages it goes through. Nymph, emerger, adult, and spinner. There are hundreds of patterns that will represent those stages. But for now, let’s stick to just the dry fly to keep it simple. Some dry flies are hackled, some aren’t some lightly … [Read more...]

Selecting The Right Bug

Mayfly Nymph - Baum Lake - Art Teter Professional Fly Fishing Guide

One of the more frequently asked questions I’m asked is, “which bug should I use?” It’s a fair question considering the multitude of naturals on the water and the bazillion options you have in the fly bins at your local fly shop. My favorite answer of course would be “the fly that’s working! “, so which fly is that? Do you look to see what bugs are flying around in the air? Or landing in the trees along the bank?! Since fish have no hands it’s hard for them to hang on to the branches. How … [Read more...]
