In the remote Northeast corner of Utah runs a river that needs no introduction. The Green River is known for its legendary hatches and exciting numbers of fish. This great stretch of river begins its journey at the Flaming Gorge Dam where its gin-clear water boasts high numbers of quality fish and amzaing pools, riffles and runs. Best fished from a drift boat, this river will provide you with memories to last a lifetime.
One of the Green River hatches to note is the Blue Winged Olive Hatch in the Spring. This hatch seems to bring all the fish to the surface, big and bigger. The BWO hatch is a real opportunity to catch a trophy fish on a small dry fly.
The BWO hatch is quickly followed up in May and June by the Cicadas. The Cicada, a burrowing insect that has varying yearly emergence, is similar in size to a cricket and can be heard "chirping" in the trees when the emergence is on. Although some years the emergence is stronger than others, there always seems to be enough to keep the fish very interested.
About the time that the Cicadas are gone, the summer is in full swing and 'hoppers and other terrestrials are on the water. The Green is also home to midge, caddis and PMD hatches. The fall and winter can provide incredible streamer and bugger fishing and you can effectively fish nymphs year-round on the Green.
The Green River is approximately a 3 1/2 hour drive from Salt Lake City (and well worth it!). We would be happy to help your with local accommodations if needed. Come join Fishwest on the Green River for a fishing trip that you will never forget...

In order for Fishwest guides to provide you with the highest service level possible, we will only allow two people maximum per guide. If your party is of three or more we will be happy to book your group with more than one guide.
We require 30% of the trip to hold your booking. If you need to cancel your trip you will receive your entire deposit if the cancellation is 1 week before the scheduled trip. If there is snow or rain, generally that means the fishing will be better, but we don't want anyone to have a bad trip due to inclement weather, therefore bad weather can be a factor for receiving full return on deposits. Of course if all the other boats still go out that day we would have to evaluate the situation.
Book your trip early to insure the dates of your trip! For more information or to book your trip please contact us.
All Fishwest trips are booked with Trout Creek Flies, an Ashley National Forest permit holder. If you have any questions regarding this arrangement, please feel free to contact us.
