Green River with David Pope

The Green river has been an absolute savior this year with the Snake basically unfishable below Pacific creek.  These fish were caught by David the other day on our trip to the lower Green.  The weather was hot and fish were shy at first but after some changes in tactics and being in the right place at the right time we got some solid fish to the boat.  
Very, very slow dry fly fishing, but big nymphs and streamers were getting the job done.  With one fish at 20" and a few others that could have tipped the scales further if they hadn't gotten away, I'd say it was a great day!!  Check out the video from our day here, or on youtube at:

David caught all these fish on either stonefly nymphs or dead drifted streamers super deep.  By the late afternoon fishing had slowed incredibly and pretty much shut off.  The prime time was definitely around 11:30, and by noon, the bite was on.  But just as fast as it turned on, it soon turned off around 1 or 2 with only a few fish eating for the rest of the day.




Overall it was a spectacular couple of hours and the action couldn't have been better.  Come back soon David and don't forget some more stogies!
