We met Gene at Trout Creek Flies at 9:00 AM, loaded up our gear and headed to the launch. We launched a short distance below the dam. Gene rigged up our rods with nymphs with a strike indicator. We were into fish right away as we were most of the day. I have never seen so many trout, the trout per mile must be one of the highest in the nation if not the highest. The scenery is remarkable but taking your eye off your fly or indicator to take in this magnificent canyon you may miss a fish.We floated 7 to 8 hours, that went by way to fast. Windsor and I both caught several fish, Rainbows and Browns and we missed several fish and lost a few. Floating through Red Canyon on the Green we went through several sets of rapids, then you'll slowly float through deep holes, shallow riffles and some of best looking water there is. Gene would row us back up river to fish several holes again and again. I learned more from Gene about trout & fly fishing in one day than the past 35 years of fishing. Gene is an expert angler, guide, teacher, a true professional. Thanks! W and Gene for a day to remember.
The weatherman missed on their forecast, the weather was beautiful, very little wind and sun most of the day.After our trip down the Green I found myself immediately anticipating plans for my next trip.
Later we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and evening at Gene and Renee's home.
