The green fishes better in the winter than it will all year... nymphing, that is. You cant beat terrestrial and cicada fishing! Anyway, there is little to no pressure this time of year, and the fish aren't seeing very many flies, hence, they are easier to catch. I would suggest fishing streamers early and late, then nymphing the majority of the time after that. Pheasant tails, hares ears, soft hackles, copper johns, zebras, scuds, worms... just about anything should do the job. I wouldn't fish anything bigger than a size sixteen though. Fish a big, bright attractor up top, then a smaller morsel below, like an egg/barr emerger, or bugger/soft hackle. Pick up some weighted buggers, and use them as the weight on your nymph rig... You'll like the results

Exactly!! Too many fish! LOL

The Green is one of the EASIEST rivers in the country to fish. It has every type of water available, and it all has fish, every inch of it. Slow water, fast water, deep water, shallow riffles, bank runs, slow "lakes", edges, seams, etc etc.

If you can't catch fish there, take up golf, or at least work on your fishing skills some more and get a lesson from someone who can show you your mistakes. Just go, and you'll see, literally. With polarized sun glasses, you should see trout all over the place.

As Anthony said, a good presentation catches fish every time.

Go up I-80 toward Cheyenne and Evanston. When you hit Mt View in Wyoming, turn south and follow the hwy to the dam and the Green. Watch for deer and elk on the roads. It is 2 1/2 hours under good driving conditions.[]

Um, its 162 miles from the mouth of Parley's to Manila, and that takes 2 1/2 hours. The river is another 45 minutes from Manila, so figure more like 3 1/2 hours with a stop or anything less than perfect driving conditions, such as this time of year when icy spots will be encountered. And toss in all the deer and elk you're about to run in to, and that should slow you down further.

If you can ever make it from SLC to the river, via Evanston, in 2 1/2 hours, please warn me in advance so I can be sure I'm not on the road. [] It can't be done without killing some body or yourself.
