Title: Green River
Post by: giddyhitch on July 05, 2009, 05:52:36 PM: Just wondering if there is any access to the green for someone with a gimpy leg? Would appreciate any advice on where to go and what some are using for bait. Thanks

Post by: jackelope on July 06, 2009, 11:25:46 AM: does that mean i'm an elitist because i fly fish?
come on now...thats not fair.

BTW "elitist" fly fishermen won't use single egg flies. they will swing flies downstream and across.
:chuckle:

Post by: dp1175 on July 06, 2009, 09:10:54 PM: i have caught lots of fish on the green with different flies. most of them have been on hoppers. this time of year the tubers are out in masses. best to be at flaming geyser right when the park opens. before the tubers get out there.

Only if you shoosh people who fish with 100 feet of you, lol.

I always get a kick out of fly fishermen that tie egg flys? Or Flys that look like ......corn meal trout food, :rolleyes:

BTW, I have four fly rods, I just suck at it, lol

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on July 09, 2009, 12:59:52 PM: Get your fishing in now on the Green, by winter it won't be fishable possibly for over two years, or more with the amount of water expected over the dam.

I have no doubt you could Jackalope.

Everytime I watch the movie "A River Runs Through it" I say to myself "this year I will learn to do it the right way"

Every time I get a chance to fish, I am in to much of a hurry just to get out to think about it, lol.
