100 DAY WARNING!

It's only 100 days until JBFC 2010, I hope everyone has looked at getting their time off for the trip. There hasn't been much chatter about this trip and I'm starting to get concerned. Remember, this is going to be an "old school" JBFC so bring nothing but a whole lots of RELAX, and rum of course.

See ya'll in May.

Green River - DAY 1

The Green River in Utah was not on our fly fishing bucket list but I think it should have been! WHAT A TRIP! Shawn flew in from Calgary and met me in Park City on Sunday night. We got up and were on the road by 8:00, our first stop was in Heber at Four Seasons Fly Shop to pick up license and a few fly's for that evening. The guys at the shop were great and gave us some info on what sections of the river to try.
With licenses in hand we started the 4hr drive on HWY 40 to Dutch John and the Green River. The drive flew by with great snowy desert views, road kill moose, some small hick towns,and a few huge frozen reservoirs.

We made it to the outfitters fly shop around 3:00, they were excited to see us and we check into our room in the lodge. The rooms was clean and simple, two beds, TV, fridge and Microwave. We threw our bag in and headed for a section of the river named "little hole". That evening we fished until dark, fish were everywhere, nice browns to sight fish too and rainbows sipping flies all over.
We fished the F^#* out of that river with NO LUCK! We had to match this hatch, unfortunately we didn't know exactly how!
That night we drank our sorrows away and got ready for the guided float trip in the morning. Look out fish, here we come!

Happy New!

Here's an audio clip I recieved from the Hatchet and Horning around 1:30am Jan 1/ 2010

It's pretty funny,

Dear Phil & Shawn,

Dear Phil & Shawn,

I hope you two send us lots of pic of big browns and bows from your guided trip in Utah. I just have one request, for any pictures you take and post on the site could you try and not smile or not make it look like your having another trip of a lifetime. Thank you.

PS- Good luck boys! Hatcher, please take lots of video footage.

February Fly Fish!

Phil and I are lucky enough to get a second chance fishing Utah together. We have a 6 day trip scheduled the first week of February. Arriving Sunday, fishing the Provo Monday morning, driving 4 hours to the Green River Monday afternoon. Staying three nights total on the river. A guided 6 hour float on Tuesday and Wednesday/Thursday walk and wade on our own. After speaking with the guide the Green River is a lot like the Bow River with browns and rainbows averaging 20" with many larger. Apparently its more like the Bow in the mountains with clear water and mostly sight fishing around the many structures the rivers offers. Nymphing, streamers, and dry flying with midges. Weather can be -20 or +10. I wish we could all be there for this one! Check out the shop/guide and gallery. http://www.fishgreenriver.com/
