Grey Drakes

I guided a couple of great local guys on the Green River yesterday.Scott Houfek and Dave Decker booked a trip with me for some Pinedale fishing. The river is improving, but is still moving fairly fast, and unfortunately, the section we decided to float (no tell section), was still a little too high to fish dries for large trout. The river has actually come up in volume the past few days...it is now hovering around 1,400 cfs. There is no shortage of bugs...plenty of grey drakes in the morning and a smattering of stoneflies in the afternoons, but very few fish were up on them. The nymphing was also lackluster. We picked up fish here and there through the day, but with no consistency. I'm headed to the South Fork Canyon tomorrow to see what's happening over there. With the river finally down below 13,000 cfs, and lots of bugs being reported, the fishing should be great. I think we'll be on the Snake in another week, as it is starting to show better clearing. Here is Dave Decker with our best fish of the day...nice fish Dave!
