Green River wild section

[troutphisher]

I fished the green river Sunday morning, the air temp was at 75 and the water was at 60 in most spots.
I fished above the narrows about a two miles up. They were generating, and they water was up.
I started the day fishing PTN's size 16 and 18. I fished near the bank and pocket waters. I caught some rainbows, and one small brown, working the flies near the undercuts, and under the branches.

I saw a light hatch of BWO's coming off around noon, that lasted for about an hour, but saw no rises in the section I was fishing. I moved up stream to find some slower water and fished a size 18 BWO.
It was slow, but I did get a couple of fish to rise. I moved to an area where the river widens out, and the current wasn't as strong, I was able to wade out to the middle of the stream, and fished a yellow sally near the grass banks. I got a brown to rise for it and he fought hard. I got it in quickly, and released it without pulling it from the water.

Later in the afternoon I saw some fish rising in a pool, so I watched them for a minute and left. It was good to see fish and flies, but I had to leave. Maybe they will be there another day.

I left the stream at 2:00PM and headed back, it was fun to fish, but the weather got hot.

Hear are a few pics of the river and fish.
