Default Green River

Willi and I fished the Green in Wyoming a few days ago. We started out
at Fontenelle (a tailwater). The reservoir was so full that they were
dumping water and it was too high to fish.

Then we went to the upper Green at Warren's Bridge and caught some very
nice browns. Willi figured it out, as usual.

Then we went to the upper upper Green. There we so many mosquitoes that
we wouldn't get out of the camper. It was unbelievable -- worse than
anything I've seen before, even in Alaska and Minnesota.


Agreed. A friend owns the last private stretch on the UUGreen -- 40
acres with a large oxbow through it. It is uninhabitable before the
frost in the fall. But for about eight weeks, it is the best fishing
there is. You have to watch for cow/calf moose, however. Momma gets
****ed when you get between them. All hail elk hair caddis.
