 Long before Flaming Gorge
Dam was completed in 1964, biologist had a concept to turn the lake
and river below the dam into one of the greatest trout fisheries in
the world. As of the new millennium they are not far off. The Green
River is a year round fishery. This is due to, in part, the one of a
kind penstocks that were installed as part of the dam. These penstocks
have allowed the water temperatures to remain constant year round. The
by-product of this is a huge biomass in the river. Hence, there are
13,000 fish per mile for your enjoyment. The Drifters believe that this
body of water is the best dry fly fishery in the west. Year round there
are always fish looking up. Where else can you throw a bug the size
of Jimmy Durante's Nose? Of course there are times where other methods
are more productive and we do what it takes to keep that smile on our
clienteles faces. Our catch and release policy has been thoroughly embraced
by every species of fish in the river. The browns, rainbows, cutthroats
and cutbow hybrids are all waiting your arrival. |
