Pontoon boat fly fishing on the Green river.

- We went on our traditional trip to the Green river in Utah to fly fish from our pontoon boats. We try to go around memorial day to hit the cicada hatch. We ended up going a few weeks later than normal due to bad weather and scheduling. We had a few comical mishaps but ended up having a great time. I was worried that there wouldn't be many cicadas out due to us going later than normal but I ended up seeing more cicadas on the water than ever before. The action was slow on one of our floats, but the fish were very much in cicada mode on our last float of the trip. It's one of my very favorite tradition trips---fly fishing with big dry flies for nice browns and rainbows

If I lived near a river like that, I’d never leave.
I'm lucky to have it in my neck of the woods. The Green is an awesome tailwater.
Another awesome video and great fishing too, thanks and thumbs up from New Zealand,, Tony.
It's one of my favorite trips. We used to go every year. Now that we're older it doesn't happen as much as in the past
Thanks for the nice video - it's always fun to follow along. The Green is known for great surface action of small to medium sized fish and rightfully so. But you're really missing the heavy fish if you're not down deep with minnow imitations, sink tip lines, and a little patience. You may only net 5 or 6 fish in a half day . . . but they will test your fishing skill and you will discover the real jewels of the Green. Besides, you can catch all the 12-17 inch fish you want at Strawberry.
That is true, more so with section B and C. A lot people target the bigger fish at night with mouse patterns. The daytime top eaters aren't as big but it sure is fun watching them slowly rise and sip them off the top
Another great adventure!
My favorite time is ADVENTURE TIME!
@@TroutHowler mine too!
@@mikenelson3338 haha
Adventure time! 😀
Yes! I've finally converted someone to my catch phrase Ohhh yeah
Great trip! I love the Green.
Its one of my favorite trips. Even if the fishing is no good it's still fun to float
I was in that part of the state during the cicada hatch and I saw them all over the lake I floated. Glad you at least fished a place that wasn't dead.😆
Looks like a fun trip. Looks like Murphy was with some of your buddies. Felt bad for "the Noob".
"The Noob" haha. Apparently the second time through Mother in law was even worse. My buddy filmed it but I had already finished the video before he told me.
Too many people, nice video
There's no denying it's a popular place.
There’s a point early on when trout howler nets a fish and I could hear people kind of cheering. I thought he was dubbing in crowd noise! 😂
@@mikenelson3338 I was dubbing in the noise. I want it to appear like people actually like me haha
I love fishing the Green. I camp in the same place too.
I have a lot of good memories there
Awesome, great video as always. Was up there a little over a week ago but just wading the river. Yellow Sally was the ticket on top! Nice to see your Dad still getting out and about. Tell him Hi from Jim!
Hey Jim, I'm assuming you were floating. How was the action over all?
@@TroutHowler we were just wading. Did pretty good subsurface (red zebra midge and pmd nymph) but then the yellow sally came off and it was crazy fun on top! Non stop surface action.
@@JC-pq4ul Dry fly action is almost always more fun 👍
Hey who was that old OV-1 rider sneaking along the shore ?
Oh that's just the greatest dad to ever exist. I bet you would agree 👍
Awesome video. Floated it for the first time the day before (Sunday). No Cicadas in the water. Still trying to get enough courage to float it on my Panther (probably your dads age).
We were there three weeks after memorial. You could do it. My dad is 81. It's been 5 or 6 years since he floated it on a pontoon boat
@@TroutHowler Ya, your dads got 10-12 years on me. Just don't want to get in over my head (literally). Would like to follow some pontoon boats down the first time. Thx a ton for the reply!
@@davidstevens9280 You'd be fine. If you have Panther it will be no problem--they are very stable. I had never even been on a pontoon boat until we launched on the Green many years ago. We held up nervously at the first rapids but after going through it ---it was nothing. The Panther is actually river rated. I've seen plenty of people on the ultra cheap short boats that are not meant for rivers on the Green and they handle it just fine
@@TroutHowlerYep it's a panther-in fact I have two. Thx for the encouragement-I really appreciate the feedback. Waders and boots ever an issue? I've heard both sides of the waders issue and am on the side of "they'll add to your flotation- not sink you" but haven't tested the theory yet..........I think we're both from the same area-facebook?
@@davidstevens9280 We learned on the first trip you want to use carabiners to attach your flippers to your boots. My buddy lost a flipper within the first mile. Luckily i had a spare pair. As far as the waders go, when you have a life jacket on it seals pretty tight so water wouldn't rush into your waders if you fell in
how is the river from where you put in down to little hole my pontoon has a seat riser i dont want to end up in the water lol
You should be ok. None of the rapids in section A are too bad. It's a fun place to float and fish.
Thank you I really enjoyed the video
Nice job guys! Wouldn't be a Trouthowler video with out a forgotten item.
So true! haha
Cicadas and the Green, a perfect match. I have 2 FishCat Cougars, they are the 8' models... maybe a little short for the Green. Kendall, what length is your pontoon? Panthers, 10R? Great boats, just heavy.
Ours are 9 ft. I've seen plenty of 8's on the Green. You shouldn't have any problem on section A with an 8 ft boat
@@TroutHowler Awesome - must be the panther model. Been a long time since I have been down the A section.
I'm about to buy a boat. My friend has the flycraft 2. I am trying to choose between an outcast 1000 or a flycraft 2. The ability of the 1000 to take on bigger water when I fish alone and the ten year warranty has me leaning that way. I'm wondering why you prefer the flycraft over the pontoon since the flycraft is not self bailing. My friend and I both have Subaru Outbacks. He throws his flycraft on the roof. I will be doing the same with either.
I have the original stealth. The new version has some improvements. Its 5 inches wider and more stable. It's also self bailing. I have fun on the pontoon boats but the Flycraft is more versatile. The one negative with the flycraft is that it's not cheap. That being said if you can afford the flycraft, i'd pick that over the outcast
@@TroutHowler I just went back to look at their site again. I see what you mean. The stealth x pro will fit my needs perfectly. I'm really glad I watched your video and spoke to you about that before I made my purchase. Thanks.
@@shawnjustice-dw6bx I doubt you'll be dissapointed with it. One plus with the flycraft is you don't have wader up to use it vs a pontoon boat. Also, I have no problem loading the flycraft by myself.
Random question. What do you do with your rod when you go through the rapids? Do you have a rod holder or some other method?
The Fish Cat Panther boat has a rod holder on the frame. We just put them in the rod holder when going over the rapids
Love it. I grew up fishing the Green.
The first time I fished there was long ago when I was in scouts. I have been fishing it consistently for the past 20+ years now. You have to love the Green
