So what did I do for our May long weekend, went way south
It was time for a return trip to the Green River. That awesome river I discovered totally by accident back in 2015. Also a trip through some of the amazing country located just below our province. Me and wife went to Yellowstone, went through Wyoming, Utah and spent a good amount of time in Arizona. These pics are very high, highlights. There are literally hundreds of things to show but I'll keep it short.

The amazing Green River at Little Hole at Flaming Gorge. I cannot say enough again about how good the fishing is at this river. I only fished the "B" section and touched on the A section. Most the A section upstream of me is coined the "Aquarium" due to the huge pools, crystal clear water and viewing of hordes of rainbows, cutties and browns. There is an average of
20,000 trout per fishable mile...yes, 20K. I focused on the B section which is a mere
8K-12K per mile of trout. Browns take over here and are very hook smart. They see a lot! I still find it hard to walk by 1000s of rising snouts to get to the holes you want to fish. This place is really something. Some of the amazing fish this river gives up - rainbows to 40 inches and over; around 20-25 lbs, a record cutthroat at just over 31 inches! And the river record a...drum roll....a
40 inch, 29 lb 12 ounce brown trout. Oh, and there are brookies but no one cares about them. And massive, massive rocky whites.
