GREEN RIVER FLIES FOR 2016 SEASON

Are you ready for the river? We are! Tying your own flies can be very rewarding- not only does it go a little easier on the pocket book, it also allows for customizing each buggy detail to your liking. If you’re not one to DIY on these tiny flies we have you covered- Guide Nick Jackson is a pro on the vice and includes all of the necessary flies to his clients. We’re looking forward to the amazing Blue Wing Olive (BWO) hatch on Utah’s Green River this spring. The BWO hatch is at it’s best in April during overcast days. We can’t wait to see you there! -bring your dry flies.

PYRAMID LAKE NEVADA #1 FLY

When we are not guiding on the Green River, Utah we spend our winters guiding on Pyramid Lake, Nevada- going after the world’s largest strain of cutthroat trout- the Lahontan Cutthroat (20 pounders). There are always  a lot of fly choices when getting out on different waters, so we wanted to share our #1 favorite fly for those of you that might venture west to the alkaline lake. It’s the Original Popcorn Beetle, created by friend and fellow Guide Doug Ouellette. To read about the origin of this killer fly click here, and to learn more about fishing Pyramid or to hire our guide service visit our website . We encourage you to head out to Pyramid, please look us up when you do! We also encourage you to share the story of the Original Popcorn Beetle.

Luke Bryan Fly Fishes the Green River Utah

Trout Creek Flies got a request to book a guided trip Wednesday afternoon just before Luke Bryan’s concert in Salt Lake City during his 2015 Kick the Dust Up Tour. Luke also had a show scheduled for Thursday night at Usana Amphitheater and wanted to book a guided trip down Utah’s Green River just below Flaming Gorge Dam before his second night’s appearance. He flew in with a friend on a small plane and landed in Dutch John’s airport, where his guide picked him up for a day of fly fishing. Guide John M. Sparger and Trout Creek Flies did a great job entertaining Luke, who landed some very nice big fish on the Green. He was greeted at the ramp at Little Hole with some SWAG, a six pack of local Vernal Brewing Co.’s Little Hole Lager (he cracked one open right away), and a very big thank you for his selection with TCF. He was open and friendly snapping pics and signing onsies for a few very lucky locals.

See some pics of Luke on the Green River UT and his big Brown’s here: Trout Creek Flies Luke Bryan Fly Fishing Trip on Facebook. Luke also has a video of him fly fishing near Casper, WY the next day after his Green River guided trip and his two shows in SLC- watch the Youtube video here:
