Monsters Live Across the Border - Wyoming Fly Fishing - Green River - August 2022

[@ScottDore-jn3nf]

Awesome video man I just in the last couple of yrs started fly fishing and I'm hooked on the reel singing best regards from Maine

[@TheRustedTrout]

No better sound or feeling than that for sure.

[@mendtheline99]

When that hook set and that reel spun... that's what we live for!

[@TheRustedTrout]

It was so sweet. Doesn't get much better than that.

[@timpearson4040]

Great video, I want to head up there but have no idea where to start. I don't mind exploring but one video i saw the guy said there's more then 100 miles ?? don't know but thats alot of exploring. Just looking for a couple of general areas.Also It looks like there's alot of grass like the Bighorn do you know if there's sow bugs?Thanks

[@TheRustedTrout]

There is a lot of access. Where are you generally want to start from? Will help to recommend some areas.

[@timpearson4040]

@@TheRustedTrout Since I'm more of a shoulder season fisherman I'm thinking about staying a little lower in elevation. I'm thinking the stretch from I80 to the lake. Still huge area

[@TheRustedTrout]

Can't help you too much down there. I've only really ice fished the two arms before the confluence in that area.

[@bradcranston]

There are plenty of bigs in that river, lots of white fish to feed them into 25-35 inch range... In a boat 30 -45 fish a day....

[@TheRustedTrout]

It's a cool river for sure. Need to do some more exploring throughout.

[@fightintheshade]

Big bow, beast of a fight. Love it!

[@TheRustedTrout]

It was awesome. Glad it was on the bigger rod for sure.

[@fightintheshade]

@@TheRustedTrout had similar experience 20’ Brown on Red Water SD. Got big air when he hit, tried netting him, ran multiple times, emptied the reel. Love it!

[@TheRustedTrout]

Really can't beat that feeling.

[@WesternStateOutdoors]

Awesome stuff man !

[@TheRustedTrout]

Thanks for watching

[@mikemaynard2044]

interesting handle,,,is that a switch rod? When you hook a Fontenelle fish start walking downsteam...hahaha

[@TheRustedTrout]

That is the truth for sure. It is a Douglas switch rod. I picked it up for cheap and the extra reach is pretty nice on big water when wade fishing. Some day I'll actually swing some stuff with it.

[@garyrafferty7625]

Another great adventure! Close to Warren Br?... or closer to Fontenelle?

[@TheRustedTrout]

Been exploring both those areas. Can't wait to get back up there.

[@timkern177]

Love the Upper Green

[@TheRustedTrout]

It's a river I need to explore more as a whole. Been fun so far. Want to do some floats next year for sure

[@garyrafferty7625]

Great video. Is that BLM or National Forest land? Easily worn trails to hike from your parking spot?... or did you have to bush whack from spot to spot?

[@TheRustedTrout]

It's public land but not managed by either of those. I walked down the river to fish the spots I had access to. There is a good amount of parking but a lot of it is best accessed with a dirt boat

[@tl56kmair]

Beautiful river, and nice fish. You mentioned the fly as a lotus. Is it the iron lotus, or another pattern? Thanks

[@TheRustedTrout]

Iron lotus. It's becoming a staple in my box

[@tl56kmair]

@@TheRustedTrout thanks for the reply. I'll have to tie up a few.

[@SteveBurgess-j1i]

Watch for Rattle Snakes in this area.

[@TheRustedTrout]

Good advice for sure.

[@luketweddale2111]

I have fished this area numerous times and never seen one. However I’m always careful because the terrain and climate are perfect for them. You’ll run up on one when you least expect it I’m sure

[@TheRustedTrout]

@luketweddale2111 right. I usually see one a year. Not here necessarily but at some point fishing or hiking. Luckily they usually let you know but I did get really close to one last year that didn't rattle until the second time I passed him.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked 🙏👍😍🙂

[@TheRustedTrout]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed

[@PrestonDonatella-r4s]

my girlfriend kind of knows where you are she grew up in green river..

[@TheRustedTrout]

Nice. That's a sweet river to grow up by. I really want to keep exploring it. Every section I've fished has been a good time.
