I dont know what you cats do for a living but i sense you do realize how fortunate you are at such a young age~ I'm just retiring at 63 , moving to Idaho , and trying to get into that kind of life
Having fished everywhere, I strongly prefer the forests and native species of the Pacific Northwest. And also, Patagonia. Nothing beats Patagonia or Alaska in scenery or fish per mile.
I started fishing the Green in the 80's when it was still a washboard, dirt road down to Little Hole. Incredible river! I was about your age when I started fly fishing too! Enjoy and thanks so much for sharing! Tight lines! Also, it was on the Green River that first trip, when I learned the drop rig and have fished it ever since.
Headin' up tomorrow!🤙😎 I agree...the Green is top notch world class. It's amazing that as dry as Utah is, 2nd driest in the United States, we still have the absolute GEM of the fly fishing world! The Green, Beaverhead, Big Hole, Madison & Snake are my top 5. Need to branch out to newer water to see how much that list changes. It's tough to want to change things up when you only have a little time to head out on multiple day fishing trips. I need to make it a point to try a new river a year...2 would be even better! Great vid!
Well, the past nine years I’ve been going to the green and it is an amazing river. We usually fish four days there,one day flow trips. this is the first year haven’t done it and I do miss it last year. I took my son for the first time last yr in his first dry fly Fishing and he picked it up pretty fast. B and C are my favorite sections. But you always gotta do A at least once for the beautiful canyons and there’s also great fishing on A. Nice vid👍
Very nice. I live in Rangely Colorado. Bout an hour forty-five from Flaming Gorge. My work used to have me close to Browns Park all the time standing on the bank watching the drift boats go by while being jealous.
Interesting conversation about which stream or river is best. As far as easily accessible streams and rivers go, the green has gotta be up there and definitely one of the best I've fished... but rivers in the backcountry of Wyoming, Montana, BC and Alberta are tough to beat. Full of big, dumb fish that may never see another lure or fly in their life. Loved the video! Tight lines
Great video. I truly enjoyed this video. I must take a trip to the Green River it’s only a 13 hour drive from where I am in NM. Oh and great drone video. I see me using my follow me mode.
Great stuff fellas. What a beautiful trip! I mostly fish Calif. waters, where the "drop shot" rig (your bounce rig) isn't allowed. Sure wish it was! Great technique from the both of you. Great job!
@@FSBrody Yup. No weight below the lowest fly. Which means if you want to use weight, you need to place it somewhere above one or all flies. Which means your rigging gets all messed up. With the bounce rig the lowest fly is generally going to be a larger nymph or maybe a scud or larva pattern, and then an emerger as you go up the rig. But when you have to put your weight above flies it messes up this simple formula. I usually run a 3-fly rig, which complicates it all even more. Sucks.
Bounce rig is awesome wading, but really shines from a drift boat and especially on the Green when CFS is 1800+. Doable at lower CFS but a royal PITA because you have to adjust suspension depths constantly.
Right where Utah & Colorado meet with Wyoming bordering on the north. The town is Dutch John, Utah, national forest camping close by as well as some lodging in DJ ( small town limited) good fishing from March to October with best being early spring /summer.If your serious into flyfishing its worth the visit
Good work guys! I'm heading to the Green to fish for my first time there this week....your vid got me going! My understanding is there is no camping on the river? Day use only?
Thanks! So there is no camping on the A section, but there are a ton of sites below little hole. Just a matter of getting there, and if they’re open. Should be a great time.
What's your rating of the green? I've fished 99% of the time on the lower Provo. Most days are meh, a few have been outstanding! but my mornings there are at 4am. and evening fishing is the only only way to dry fly fish, and even t hen you'll have 30 minutes of seeable conditions and even then you'll never know exactly what sized 20 very specific pattern they'll bite. I've spent hundreds of hours on the lower Provo and the only flies that consistently work are the ones I've tied myself. I'd say my average fish takes 3 hours to catch. so yeah....thinking of going to the green right below flaming gorge and fishing it for a few days for my own channel. Thoughts?
100% go try out the green. I’d branch out from the lower provo too. I’ve had the same experience there. Some good days, mostly meh. But the green is incredible.
Amaizing River - maybe one of the best waters in the world, but i have to say that the best rivers in the world are in NZ. The size and the amount of the browns and the rainbows is unmatched to anything else i have ever experienced. If you have the chance to fish there be aware that ist may change your view on flyfishing for ever ;)
@@FSBrody its a very short season though. controlled aswell. 2 months. and a window with a ballot for only 140 fishers. got so lucky to fish it myself this year. 15lb is the average sized fish there. and its mid spawning run, so you will almost always see over 20LB+ fish in there. friend caught a 30lb+ this time. but god its an amazing experience because of the unique nature of the fishery
@@bjornlarson6777 I would say just practice malign casts and finding your casting tempo. The green is a huge river, and a difficult one. It’s always good to go with a guide who know the river inside and out, especially if it’s your first time on that river.
I love the Green. BUT -there are rivers in Argentine Patagonia that have the Green beat. The Green has become such a mecca that it's often hopelessly overcrowded.
Thanks! We stayed at a campsite called dripping springs, it’s very close to the River access, but if that’s full there are many other campsites within 20 mins of the River. If you are able to float the River I would highly recommend doing so!
Nice video and nice quality fish. What is the native population of the Green, rainbows, cutts and bull trout? Don't know about 'best river in the world' though. But you guys call a national sport championship 'World Series', so what the heck..
this river is damed and full of stocked fish.. i think best river in the world is a stretch .... not to mention you have to wear a life jacket any time you are floating it.
@@deez4419 OMG there are three main sections, the first is 7 miles long. I mainly fish A so was curious on if there was hiking on others. Grow up. Tight lines
@@FSBrody I think the second or third best thing about a fly fishing trip like that would be eating one or two of the fish you cooked on top of some rice and vegetables
I snorkel section A. You can't understand the insane fish density until you swim this river -- most beautiful water in the West. Try ditching your gear and go wild swimming.
I know several rivers that are better by far😳 I grew up on one of the best in my back yard as a kid and even Zane Gray thought it was one of the best and when my father was a kid there was so much wild fish you could scoop them out of the river with your hands🙌
It is a beautiful river for sure but don’t call it the best in the world. There are incredible rivers all over the world. Canada 🇨🇦 has many rivers. So many rivers and lakes …so much water. So many in Canada that many are not even named
@@aaronshumate2303 I don’t know why you would say Canada is terrible. The people are very friendly. I have friends that live in Toronto. The city is huge,five million people and it has almost no crime. All American cities are very unsafe with so much crime. Also Canada is routinely voted the number 1 country in the world almost every year.
Dude this is not the best river in the world this River used to be one of the best in the world but it is declined since the 80s I'm sick of people talking about the green I live right here I can go there anytime and I choose to fish other places
Started fishing there with my Dad around 1988. Been back almost every year since with him. Left my Dads ashes there last spring. It’s an amazing river
Did the same thing with my grandpa on the bighorn river in Montana. The memories made on the river are some of the best you can make.

Try Colorado river below Lees ferry. Beautiful scenery, best rainbow trout next to alaska. Must have boat.
Been to Lee’s Ferry several times. Always fished from the dam back down. Beautiful place to fish. Were you in a boat, or is any of that ok to wade?
@@primebeef3938 Can fish from bank a very little bit. Must have a boat to cover more water, can beach boat and wade.
Only possible because of “Glen Canyon Dam.”

A and the first couple miles of B

@@SevenBrokenBar mostly just 5 and 6 weights.

Awesome! What time of year was the video shot?
This was late April
I love the Green. BUT -there are rivers in Argentine Patagonia that have the Green beat. The Green has become such a mecca that it's often hopelessly overcrowded.
This trout fishery is only possible because of the cold water outflows from “Flaming Gorge Dam.” Without the dam the Green River would be muddy.
Very cool guys! Where did u camp? Headed up there in a few weeks in the sprinter van . Do u advise floating a day to learn the river?

Hopefully the hopper fishing is good by then. Definitely have a good variety of big bugs. Midges, and caddis would probably work well too.
