The dry fly fishing was fantastic on cicadas before the high water flows!…. Let’s hope that it goes back to that afterwards. Watch for max capacity CFS for a few days.

FISHING IS GOOD ON THE GREEN
It was CJ and Sophie’s first time on a guided trip this last Saturday, and they did a great job! This trip was booked through Spinner Fall, with Nick Jackson as their guide.
All of the Outfitters are open and running up here on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. Trout Creek Flies and Red Canyon Lodge have great lodging options, in mountain and desert settings. The spring fishing is great!
FISHING IS OPEN
The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is open for fishing! DNR is asking that people practice responsibility when coming to Daggett County for recreation.
We will begin running guided trips May 1, 2020 under Trout Creek Flies (permit of Ashley National Forest). Please note the following precautions put into place:

DIY CONSULATIONS on FISHING the GREEN, CASTING, TYING
Fishing remains open on the Green River Utah below Flaming Gorge Dam, but many outfitters are adhering to social distancing and are not running trips, including the one we guide under. We are trying our best to get creative on how to maintain our business while entertaining all of you as well. Our clients keep us afloat, we miss you as much as you miss the Green!
We are getting phone calls daily about anglers looking to come up and fish. While we aren’t guiding any trips right now we are offering advice and all the flies you will need to fish on your own!
FOR $20 YOU’LL GET:
20 minutes to ask the guide for any advice on fishing locations, rigs, flies, whether to go from a boat or walk/wade, when to go, absolutely anything! Meetings can be done via phone, email, facetime, android video, or zoom. Think of it as virtual guiding. Feel free to discuss future booking dates as well, for when we are available to get you back in our drift boat. You may also request to have fly tying or casting instruction instead/in addition. We’d love to customize your consultation to your wants and needs.
FOR AN ADDITIONAL $20:
A half a dozen flies for fishing the Green at various times, or specific to the time you plan to come up and fish. These can be picked up in Dutch John or mailed for $5.
Please call or text 801-706-7836 or email dryflynickjuli@gmail.com to set up your time. Payment can be made via Venmo @fishingwithnick or by Credit Card via emailed invoice using Square.
THANK YOU to all of our past, present, and future clients! We appreciate your support. This is a great way to support small business and help keep us around for future floats! Please feel free to share. We hope you all are staying sane and safe!

BIG BROWNS IN FALL
Kathy landed an awesome brown yesterday on the Green River, Utah. Fishing below the Flaming Gorge Dam is always beautiful in the Fall; the colors are a wonder to see! Mike also landed some great fish!
DRY FLY FISHING STILL GOOD
The dry fly fishing is still phenomenal on the Green River, although the cicadas are nearly done the fish are still biting on them. The Swart Brothers had a great day on the river and landed some real beauties!
DRY FLY FISHING STILL GOOD
As the cicadas wind down we are now seeing yellow Sally’s and caddis. The big bug is still working on the river, but many fish are also refusing it. We always have a blast when Rick and Dave come out from Tennessee, they are hardcore Anglers and so fun to be around! They landed a ton of nice fish!
CICADAS ARE ON!
Cicadas are in full force on the Green River in Utah! PMD’s, caddis, and yellow sallies are all starting to show up. Both dry and nymph fishing are good right now and will only get better in the coming weeks. Get out and fish!
HIGH WATER FISHING
Flows are at 8,000 CFS on the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. The nymph fishing is good, try heavy weights with a red San Juan worm or scuds in various colors. You’ll find fish near the bottom, on sand bars, and in slower water near the banks.
HIGH WATER FLOWS 2019
The Bureau of Reclamation states the water flows below Flaming Gorge Dam will increase in the next few weeks, in conjunction with the Razorback Sucker hatch of larvae. Please check the BOR website or usgs.gov for the most up to date information. The nymph fishing should be good during high water.
