The fall is a great time to fish the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. During these cloudy October days try an articulated streamer in various colors, like this brown and white one tied by Guide Wade Isaman.

FAT 23 INCH BROWN LANDED ON SIZE 24 NYMPH
Client TJ from Farmington, UT landed this nice, fat 23 inch Brown on Utah’s Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam- on the B Section. He landed this monster Brown on an itsy-bitsy size 24 nymph. Nice job TJ, we enjoyed having you and your wife with us in the boat!
OVER 24 INCH BROWN LANDED
GREAT FALL FISHING
We had a great time with Mike and Kathy out on the Green River this fall. They landed several fish and did an awesome job casting and taking instruction. Here’s a look at a few of the fat Rainbows and Browns they landed!
OVERLOOKING DIVING BOARD

MARK AND BLAKE LANDED SEVERAL ON DRIES
We had a great time out on the river for two days with Mark and his son Blake- in from Reno, NV. The Caddis and Yellow Sally hatches gave these boys some great dry fly action a few weeks ago! We’ve had double after double this season and these two have kept the trend going. Looking forward to next time guys! — Looking for what to use now? Ants and hoppers are ON.
FLYFISHING AND BEING YOUNG AT HEART
We recently had the pleasure of taking 85 year old Bill out on the drift boat for 3 days of guided fly fishing on the Green River, UT just below Flaming Gorge Dam. Bill did an amazing job landing several fish on dry flies on sections A, B, and C. Although the Cicada hatch was for the most part absent this year, the Caddis and Yellow Sally hatches are in full swing– fortunately sticking around longer than typical and will hopefully carry over into August. Bill was a pleasure to be around and definitely still on top of the game both physically and mentally. Thanks for letting us guide you Bill! (Guide: Nick Jackson)
SCUDS ARE THE FLY OF CHOICE
The fish are tight to the banks, and on sand bars in the slower water. With the strong flows, you’ll need to hit bottom to reach the fish on their level. Here’s a first hand look at some of the scuds the trout are feeding on.
Try gray or amber in size 20-14. Also worms are still doing well- try a neon nightmare or wire worm in red, pink, natural, or orange with a scud trailer.
MORE GREAT FISHING ON THE GREEN RIVER
Clients Mike and Larry did a great job reeling in the rainbows and browns on the Green River this week. Guide Nick Jackson led them to the fish! Nice double guys!
THE NYMPHING IS GOOD ON THE GREEN
We had a great time on the Green River the other day with Jeff and Steve. The Blue Wing Olive hatch is still going strong- the guys landed several fish with a nymph rig on the A section.
