Great video! I took my son there a couple of years ago. The flows were super high (5X normal). We were worried it was going to be blown out. Instead we nymphed with a pale worm pattern and pretty much caught a fish every cast. We competed to see who would catch more fish. He beat me with 24 the first day. So beautiful and such good fishing. Kind of like a Disneyland ride down the river. It looks so calm compared to when we were there. Not much of a town at night....
Yeah, I've heard it can be ridiculous. I had to scratch for every fish! But it is such a beautiful river, so far only the McCloud compares in my mind. Hopefully the next time I'll go it'll be an E-ticket (yes, I realize I'm dating myself by referencing E-tickets).
Teach your guide to release the fish properly. I have been a guide in the past so please be more respectful to the animals that earn you a paycheck and tips.
So, for backstory, you'll note that this is kind of a theme in the video. That's because I mentioned that I tend to be more gentle with the fish (you'll see in all my videos that I really do try to protect these creatures that I adore as much as possible while recognizing that fly fishing is inherently hard on hooked fish). He was like, "I'm a big proponent of just throwing them back." As a not-professional, I didn't feel it was my place to lecture him about what he does professionally. Also, I know it looks like I spend all my time fly fishing, but I really don't and a day like that where I get to have someone row me around a place like the Green is really special. I didn't want to spend it feeling like there was tension between my guide and me so I let it go. Not sure if that helps or hurts, but thought you might be interested in some context. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

I noticed many guides in Wyoming and Utah really don't care how they handle fish like the guides in Montana and Colorado do. Just my observation.
