This is probably one of my favorite hatches to fish all summer around here...the gray drakes. I've spent the last couple of days guiding on the Green River near Pinedale, and have seen some excellent fishing. The river is in very good shape...the levels have come down, the clarity is great and the fish are looking up. The gray drakes have been literally pouring off in the mornings, providing some fantastic dry fly fishing. Although the bugs have been tapering off after about 1 o'clock, the fish have been taking attractors quite nicely through the afternoon. I've seen a number of large brown trout in the net the past couple of days on drakes and chernobyl ants. Here is Richard Williams from Maine, with a healthy 21" brown that fell for a tan chernobyl ant. More from the Green soon!
