Great Day on the Green

For the past month we have been putting hundreds if not thousands of miles on our trucks, driving all over the west to get to fishable water. Tired of all this, we finally decided to fish one of our "home rivers" today and boy were we pleasantly surprised. After the relatively short drive to the Green, we were greeted by high, murky water. Murky, but with about 2 feet of visibility, which is enough to fish. Shortly after putting on the air was filled with bugs. Stones, Drakes, Caddis, and more. The day was looking up. We spotted some fish rising in an eddy and quickly put a few small Browns into the boat. One neat thing about the day was that each fish got progressively bigger. 10 inches went to 12, 15 went to 17, and by the end we had caught 4 fish over 18 inches including our final Brown Trout which measured out to 21.5 inches. Heck Yeah! It felt so good to be back on the rivers that we know so well and to see them fish well and produce big healthy trout. You can travel the world over, but you will find few places as awesome as this amazing place we live.
