Nick and Julianne rarely get the same day off- so yesterday afternoon they met up after work to fish Red Canyon‘s private lake- East Green Lake. There are several huge Rainbows and Tigers right off the dock. Here’s a look at some of the fish they landed- both on a zebra midge. (These fish are still eating Cicada dry flies!)

Lago Pollux is near the town of Coyhaique in the Patagonia region of Chile. The waters are full of huge rainbow trout that are somewhat easy to catch- the minimal fishing pressure in the secluded mountain and farmlands allows for more curious fish eager to eat. Nick Jackson was fortunate to have guided on the rivers and lakes in the area for four seasons (2010-2013). He filmed this video on a GoPro 3 while floating tubing off the banks of Campo Chileno in 2012.

Julianne spends her weekends working in Trout Creek Flyfisher in Dutch John, UT, but during the week she’s selling jewelry at this Kay’s City Creek location– apparently flyfishing follows her even into downtown Salt Lake City– she considers it the best of both worlds! The outdoor mall’s streams and pools are stocked full of trout. (post via Vimeo from High-Spirited Adventures)
New flow chart of Green River spring 2015 high water runoff. Watch for 8600 cfs for about 10-14 days after intial increase starting on May 11, 2015. Should be good nymphing once the run off stabilizes- around the 14th.
Awesome cicada hatch from July 2014. Watch guide Nick Jackson of Trout Creek Flyfisher and host Hilary Hutcheson light it up on the Green River, UT.

Flaming Gorge was covered in snow this April weekend, but the BWO hatch is still going strong. Many guides on the Green River have reported several fish rising to meet the hatch in early afternoons. Get out there while the gettin’s good!
