As the snow starts to melt and temperatures start to climb, fly fishing fever returns with renewed intensity. Dream trips you’ve planned can now become a reality and you can focus on the details to make them successful.
I like to take trips to the green river in early spring. The weather usually holds and there’s a likelihood of dry fly fishing. Walking the banks as the day warms up looking for “lips” as fish feed on the surface make all those cold winter days a forgotten memory.
When the midges and blue-wing olives begin hatching there is sure to be some of the year’s best fishing. If you take a walk down below Little Hole or drive around to the river below Indian Crossing you’ll usually find some mid-day dry fly action.
But it’s not just the Green River. Good dry fly activity takes place on our local streams as well.
I’m also looking forward to our store sponsored trip to South Andros Island in late April. Sixteen of our favorite customers and friends try to temp the big bonefish of the Bahamas. This year we’ve chosen Mangrove Key Club because of it’s great lodging, service and guides. Two guests and a guide will depart the lodge each morning in search of these great fish. Evenings bring great camaraderie for cocktails and a dinner you’ll not soon forget. The cabins are modern, comfortable and air conditioned which make for a great nights sleep. There are still a few spots left for those of you who would like to join us. Call Russ as Jans 435-649-1020 as soon as possible to be included. But be aware, this fishing is very addicting.
