Imagine yourself floating in a drift boat with a professional oarsman, on the crystal clear Green River. On either side of you are towering red sandstone walls, ponderosa pine trees, and abundant wildlife. Beneath you lies one of the largest populations of trout anywhere in the world. As you gaze at the fish and beautiful surroundings your guide yells “SET THE HOOK!!” for the 20th time. Only 5 more miles of river to go…
The Green River has 3 very different sections of river to fish and enhance your angling skills. The sections are known as the “A” “B” and “C” sections. The “A” section offers an insane amount of trout. Some Division of Wildlife Resource estimates boast that there are 14,000 trout in a 1 mile section on the Green River’s “A” section. “A” section = tons of fish, beautiful canyon corridor, but it is not a secret to fishermen or fisherwomen, as it is the most accessible of the three sections. The “B” section offers less fishing pressure, and a few less fish as compared to “A”. However, the average size of trout is typically larger than the “A” section. Many days throughout the year, the “B” section is where the best fishing on the river is. The “C” section of the river is fairly open and sometimes windy. Large opportunistic trout lurk on the shelves and banks waiting for an offering. This is the best section for experienced anglers looking for trophy fish, and plenty of solitude. A busy day on the “C” section would entail seeing 1 other boat on the river.
The Green River is world renown for it’s terrestrial dry fly fishing. The famous Cicada hatch in June offers an incredibly visual dry fly experience. At times you may have fish fighting over which one gets to eat your presentation first. Cicada’s are large “locusts” that live as nymphs in the roots of trees along the river coridor. After a gestation period of 1 to 17 years - depending on the species - the cicadas emerge, molt, and start flying and buzzing around to attract mates. After about 1 month the cicada ( if not eaten by a hun gry trout) will mate, lay eggs and die. Typically the emergence and death cycles offer the best Cicada fishing. Every season is different. Some years we encounter 4 different cicada hatches at once. Other years you hardly notice their presence. Therefore the hatch is hit or miss, but if you hit it, you will always remember it.
After the cicada hatch you will find abundant varieties of big bugs. Late June thru early July also offers great pale morning dun hatches (pmd’s) as well as yellow sally stoneflies. Large dry fly fishing is good from June all the way thru October. From crickets, hoppers, beetles, and ants to the annual bug that none of the guides have seen before. The Green offers everyone opportunities at dry fly caught fish.
Other prolific hatches on the Green River include the Blue Wing Olives in spring and fall, caddis in the summer, and midges year round. The Blue Wing Olives (BWO’s) usually begin hatching in late March with the best hatches mid-April thru early May. There are times when you may see hundreds of fish rising among the thousands of BWO’s floating on the surface. The BWO hatch is a must fish for anyone looking for an incredible mayfly fishing experience. The BWO hatch offers you the chance to pick off rising fish one by one.
Nymph fishing is always good on the Green. Freshwater shrimp “scuds” and midges are very abundant, and combine as most of the Green River diet. Sculpins, and small fish also offer larger trout a more satisfying meal.
Spinner Fall Guide Service has been guiding on the Green River since 1986. All of Spinner Fall’s guides have a minimum of 8 years guiding experience under their wading belts , and focus on the fun and teaching aspects of fly fishing. Spinner Fall’s guides all prefer to fish dry flies and do so more than any other outfitter on the Green River. Please check out our website for more information http://www.spinnerfall.com
Thanks for reading and Tight Lines!
Scott Barrus ha s been flyfishing the Green River since 1990 and guiding since 1998. He has guided in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, and flyfished in Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, Canada, Florida, and all over the Western U.S. The Green River is still his favorite place to fish as it offers the best visual trout fishing experience anywhere.
In several of my other articles I have discussed many types of fly fishing gear that all fly fishing newbie’s should own. After reviewing some of my previous tips I noticed I left out two very important pieces of fly fishing gear
The fly-fishing vest- Not sure why this is important?
Fly fishing in a river or stream many times you will find yourself moving from spot to another to seek out that monster trout. Why would you want to waste all your time running back to the bank to grab your tackle box? Wearing a fly vest allows you the convenience of having all the needed equipment on you at all times to keep you mobile. You can stock your vest with the essentials: fly box and selection of necessary flies, extra tippets, line, leader, tools, net, and chewing tobacco. I find a good chew on the stream is always needed 
A wading belt - I have shoulder straps, why would I need a belt?
Have you ever tried to get your clippers, fly, or chew from the bottom of your waders after you dro pped them deep inside your waders? If you have been fly fishing for any length of time I’m sure you have lost something down the front of your waders. If you had been wearing a wading belt you could have avoided this mid-stream struggle. The most important benefit of the often-overlooked piece of fly-fishing equipment is that it keeps you alive. Is this really possible, how? A properly worn wading belt can keep air locked inside and water out for that time when you walk without paying attention and plunge into deep water. It acts as a float tube and keeps you from sinking like a lead weight. Nothing kills your fishing mood like drowning!
Like the various other types of fly-fishing equipment I have discussed in other articles, both of these can be purchased used via eBay or thrift sales, often found on markdown racks at local stores, or from a high priced fly fishing shop. In closing let me e ncourage all of you not to overlooked pieces of fly-fishing equipment that have a valuable purpose.

Bass fishing is just one of the many forms of relaxation the individual can do to spend quality time with family or bond with friends. It beats working in the office and is a great escape from the pressures of the city.
There are a few things needed in order to fish aside from a boat, the fishing pole and a license since most states require it. There area also the lures, which will be used to attract the fish so these can be captured and brought aboard.
Here are some of the best things to use as lures when the person will go bass fishing.
1. Getting the right lure sometimes requires knowing what the bass loves to eat and a good example is a worm. Since it is hard to control where this small creature is doing, the best thing to do will be to get one that is made of plastic.
The supply store will have this in different lengths and colors so all the individual has to do is tie it at the end of the fishing rod then begin to reel it in.
2. Crankbait is also another lure that can be used to catch bass because it looks like baitfish or a crawfish. It can work in any kind of water and is used quite often to teach newbies how to fish.
3. Something similar to the crankbait is spinner bait. This is because the lure also looks like a baitfish and has been known to capture bass in bigger sizes. These are also available in different sizes, color and blade configuration which the person can choose when going fishing.
4. For those who want to fish like the veterans, the best lure to get is the Jig and Pig. This model resembles a crawfish and is used in tournaments where this is placed all the way to the bottom and attracts a bass that is swimming there hoping to get a nice meal.
5. The Bucktail Jig is another lure that can be used to catch all kinds of fish and just the bass. People can find this with plastic tails in the end that could be curly or straight, which really looks like a smaller fish, which these creatures love to eat.
6. The bass does not only look for a free meal at the bottom of the lake but also on the surface. The top water plug is one lure that just stays on top then it pulled down meaning a bass has gotten hold of the bait.
7. It may be hard to see in the water so bass have to rely on other senses to catch prey. The tail spinner moves around and when the fish picks up the vibration, the person surely has a bass and the only thing to do will be to pull it into the boat.
The last thing that can be used as a bass fishing lure is a spoon. No, this is not the kind used for eating but is curved and is more effective than the other kinds sold in the market.
Bass fishing can only be fun if there are fish caught for supper. This means having the right lures so this can happen regardless of the water conditions.

Major Delmarva rivers include the Choptank, Nanticoke, Wicomico and Pocomoke. Further down into Virginia are bayside creeks such as the Onancock, Occohannock, Pungoteague, Nassawadox and others. Virginia seaside waterways include Gargathy and Accomack creeks.
Many of these rivers feature a wide range of habitat from their upper reaches out to the bay. River explorers may see a wide range of plants, animals and fish on an excursion. Often species that are normally isolated occur together as the river waters a mix of fresh and saltwater environments are blended.
Four Maryland rivers, the Choptank, Nanticoke Wicomico and Pocomoke offer outstanding fishing for both freshwater and saltwater species. In the upper sections of these rivers, lily pads and other structure provide an ideal environment for freshwater species including largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, pickerel, gar, white perch, yellow perch, shiners, herring, shad and bullhead catfish. Fishing can be not only productive, but spontaneous as every cast holds potential for an unexpected species.
As these four rivers flow towards the bay, the environment changes. Cypress swamps give way to open marshes and saltwater species begin to be more common. This mid-section still holds good fishing for largemouth bass and other freshwater species, but here anglers may also cast lures and find that striped bass, perch, channel catfish or other species are among the day’s catch.
The lower areas of these rivers can contain more saltwater and may hold trout, red drum, black drum, croakers, Norfolk spot, bluefish, striped bass, flounder, perch, eels, channel catfish and other fish. Fishing the lower reaches of the larger Eastern shore rivers can be very productive during certain periods of the year. Late winter and early spring give cool weather anglers opportunities to locate and fish dense schools of yellow and white perch that have congregated prior to spawning. Again the fall, fish such as rockfish and croaker school up to feed before leaving the rivers.
As visitors travel south into Virginia, the environment changes. The long and winding rivers give way to shorter, saltier creeks. Virginia creeks offer a different experience for fishermen, nature lovers and explorers. Some of the most breathtaking and dramatic landscapes in the area include places such as Onancock Creek. Virginia bayside creeks have excellent fishing for species such as red drum, speckled trout, rockfish and others. Another Virginia option are the smaller seaside creeks where anglers can fish for flounder, trout, black drum and other saltwater fish.
A good way to explore area rivers is to start with a guided trip. Maryland and Virginia fishing guides have the experience, boats and equipment necessary for an enjoyable trip. While much of a river trip can be quiet, slow paced and relaxing, an experienced guide will be able to move you efficiently and quickly if the fish or wildlife have migrated up or down the river’s body.
A guided trip is also an excellent family activity. Most guides offer several types of trips and know how to fill a day with activities that will interest every family member. In addition to fishing, guides may offer special family-oriented trips such as nature tours, birdwatching trips, or other services. Some rivers or creeks even have secluded beaches that are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, shell collecting and birdwatching.

High fuel prices got you down?
Imagine how most of us feel in the recreational fishing world.
Let me explain.
Here we are rounding into September, the time of year that all true “sport fishermen” look forward to. The weather is changing, and most summer crowds have gone home, leaving the rivers and lakes uncrowded and filled with frisky hungry fish readying themselves for the fall spawn and feedfest that takes place in fall.
Most of us are not lucky enough to have a river or lake out our back door, so that means traveling to our favorite fishing spots is mandatory. Two hundred miles or better is nothing when it comes to our passion.
Most fishermen -and outdoor types in general–are usually heading for the great outdoors hauling their gear in SUVs , trucks or campers/trailers.
Not exactly what you would consider “economy” cars.
I can still remember the conversation I had with Ranger Kurt about three years ago, when I convinced him to purchase an old Ford Diesel f350 in place of his trusty Toyota fishing rig.
He would love the extra room, and heck- diesel was about a dime cheaper than regular to boot!!
He like I, always seemed to just fill the back of his pick-up with just about every piece of sporting good equipment that languished in his garage.On the off chance we might feel the urge to break into a spirited game of Badminton, shoot clay pigeons, ride mountain bikes, or take an impromptu twenty mile hike into the high desert, we were ready!!
So, as our state of readiness has increased with age, our truck beds have shrunk.
Much like our spines and uhhhh hummm… other things!!
But I digress…
Anyway, as I ran out of room and had to spend thirty minutes each time loading and unloading basketballs,hockey sticks and barbecues– just to find my waders–I decided a bigger rig was in order.
Didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, back when diesel fuel was at about $1.29.
….$3.19 this morning!!
Ranger Kurt is not talking to me anymore.
I have decided to make some drastic changes in my life–at least my fishing life– and the next time you see me…. I will be driving a Vespa.
That’s right, one of those tiny Italian jobs that sound like an underpowered weed wacker.
I realize this will make it impossible to carry all the “necessary” gear I need to be ready for “impulse recreation”– but what’s a guy to do?
From now on, I will only carry the essentials–fishing rod, fly box,perhaps a sleeping bag–and wear all my necessary clothing, including waders,vest,wading boots and possibly a change of underwear. Everything else stays home!
I know this sounds drastic, but if I am to continue my passion for fishing –this may be the only way to make it affordable to do so.
I also know that the visual image of a rugged outdoorsman on the back of a Mo-ped is not exactly the vision Madison Avenue would like to sell to Orvis or Jeep Cherokee and is more akin to the image of Jim Carrey in “Dumb and Dumber”–but I don’t care!!
Look out Deschutes River Steelhead… we’re LEAN, MEAN, and riding WHINY MACHINES…
Whad’ya think?Kinda catchy, huh?
So, until the price of crude drops back down to a reasonable level, which may be never, you will recognize me as the guy out on Highway 97 wearing about fourteen layers of clothing and a pair of Hodgeman neoprene waders.
My poor Ford F250? Well, I suppose it will become an expensive dog house for my Yellow Lab-because unless I have AAA tow my vehicle around town–I can’t afford to drive it anymore.
I sure hope they don’t catch on to me!!
Oh– and Ranger Kurt–give me a call, there’s room on the back of the Vespa for you…

If you live in Florida or plan on visiting the beautiful state anytime soon then you may want to consider purchasing a fishing license. Many times when an individual hears the word Florida what they think of is fishing. Perhaps this is because the State of Florida is known for having a lot of rivers and lakes in it. Then again it may be because when you look on the map of the United States of America and see Florida (that state at the bottom of the map that sticks out) you see that the ocean surrounds it.
Yes, there is no doubt fishing in Florida is very fun. In fact, we live in Florida and go fishing nearly every weekend but there are some things that you should know before you go fishing in Florida. The one important thing we need to tell you about is a Florida fishing license. The truth is that it is actually against the law if you fish in Florida without first obtaining a license that is in your name. You should also know that if you get a freshwater license this does not mean that you can fish in the ocean. Florida law states that you must have a freshwater license for fishing in lakes, rivers and streams, but you must have a salt water license for fishing in salt water such as the ocean.
When it comes to the requirements and regulations for fishing in Florida you are going to find that they are easy to understand. If you are sixteen years of age of older and fishing from a boat then you must have a fishing license. If you are on a charter boat then you should know those anglers are being covered. If you are a resident in the State of Florida and you will be fishing from land, a dock, a pier or a bridge then you do not need a fishing license but if you are a non-resident then you will need to obtain a license from Florida before you start fishing.
There are some exceptions to the fishing license rules in Florida. Any Florida residents who are in the United States Armed Forces and are not stationed in the State of Florida and come home on leave for 30 days or less. Also if you are a Florida resident over the age of 65 and you have proof of your age and residence you will get a no-cost license from any of the tax collector’s offices. There are a couple other exceptions as well. There are many ways you can purchase your Florida fishing license. You can go to a website and purchase one, call a number, go to a bait and tackle shop or a tax collectors shop.

Fishing is a hobby that has endured both time and space. Since the earliest of civilizations, man has already understood the importance of gathering food from the bodies of water. Nowadays though, the sense of fishing has already morphed into more exciting activities rather than finding fish for food.
Deep sea fishing trip is a whole lot different matter and each experience is different from that of another fisherman. Aside from the satisfaction of being able to feast on your own catch, deep sea fishing also provides the peace of the sea and the solitude of the charter. It is also considered as a mental game wherein you must devise your own ways to catch more fish or to lure them easier into your bait. The technical aspects of deep sea fishing is also far more complicated than the normal boat fishing however, the major principles still remain the same in almost all cases.
Deep sea fishing is more a challenge than a need to find the fish. It tends to be more of an adventure towards the sea while having a fun ride. It is more of experiencing the rush and the waves of the ocean and the wind. Catching the fish is not secondary though. After all, you set out for it in the first place.
Obviously, deep sea fishing lets you explore the deeps. Thus, you would not catch ordinary varieties of fish but strange-looking sea creatures in particular. However, these are seldom caught as these require special machineries.
Deep sea fishing trip is a sport made for fishermen that embarks them toward the deepest parts of the water.
The most common destination for deep sea fishing trip is the Gulf of Mexico. There is literally a wide spectrum of fish varieties that would not only educate you on the wonder of the fish world but would also help you in memorizing the species. You will most likely find large schools of snappers and groupers but you also stand a good chance of seeing (and catching) fishes like Spanish mackerel, kingfish, tuna and the giant red fish.
The captains of the fishing boat in this side of the world are known to be experts and can warrant you of excellent deep sea fishing trip. These captains are also known or their professionalism and adhere to maintain the proper conduct, and rules and regulations at sea. Additionally, the crews of the ships often make all the arrangements for the fisherman on board which saves you from the hassles of finding and of looking for good fishing spots. Some would even clean and bag your catch for you.

Many new carp anglers want big fish but have not the experience of catching any carp of any size to contribute towards their success and it is best to view the real world of carp fishing and it’s focus on big fish with true perspective; everything is relative.
To me a 48 pound fish is traditionally an old-looking warrior with a legacy of captures spanning decades and a history reflecting the unfolding development of the water and surrounding environment in which it inhabits. The age of trees immediately beside the waters edge are especially evocative to me of this. But I have caught fish of this size which are only the age of fish which are most usually only double figures in weight and this does seem strange; a fish without the normal years to match its bulk!
When I was younger, I used to believe that all smaller fish perhaps up to late double figures in weight were relatively easy to catch, but I have discovered this is far from the case… In some carp waters, there are fish that have remained stubbornly at 17 or 18 pounds which are over 40 or 50 years of age. Such experienced fish are not necessarily the easiest fish to catch.
It is a fact that older fish have essential dietary and nutritional requirements which can alter with age and impact upon which baits and ingredients might be more effective. For example, much older fish use their food and nutrition far more for bodily maintenance than for skeletal growth for instance. Their bodies essential demand for many minerals, vitamins and amino acids and other key nutrients may be reduced very much compared to young actively growing fish which having a higher metabolic rate etc.
Older fish can certainly have different natural feeding habits compared to younger fish in a wild setting. However, it is sometimes harder to find fish which truly feed totally naturally all the time where anglers and anglers’ baits have had an impact on particular fish for decades.
Now back to getting an edge over those much sought-after bigger fish. There are many pressure in angling and in the aquatic environment which can potentially impact upon the way fish behave and feed in any water and what a fish needs to consume or is willing to risk investigating. All this might seem a little meaningless in the face of rubber and plastic artificial baits catching big carp and the use of concentrated flavours of high or low pH as in attractor or instant baits for instance.
I recall testing different hook patterns on crucian carp decades ago and getting the shock result that 9 out of 10 patterns simply either could not hook the fish despite being taken into the mouth, or allowed the fish to immediately spit the hook even when hooked. Only one pattern provided positively well hooked fish and from my vantage point over-looking the margin where the test hook-baits were placed it was clear that a hook with a longer point which was exceptionally sharp stood any chance of hooking those wily old shy-biting crucian carp.
It is true that it is the bait that hooks a fish by getting the hook physically in the vicinity of the mouth and giving the chance of a hook-up. Some mad carp will take a bare hook with no bait on at all, but I’ve yet to met a successful carp angler who fishes a bait less hook all the time! The fact is you have to experiment on a water until you have positive feedback that fish are willing to at least sample whatever baits you offer them. Sometimes this is easy to discover and instant takes occur. Other times you need to change your options a few times before success comes.
Having found a small fish water containing single figure fish, I though I’d test some standard big carp rigs on them to see how experienced and tricky these small fish were. I was looking to test myself and look again at solving very basic and common challenges that any carp can present to you. It was obvious from the wary treatment of floating baits and the failure to positively hook fish on a variety of simple baits (excluding boilies and pellets,) that these particular fish were no walk-over and required a bit more thought to trick quickly.
In fact there were just 10 fish total in this farm pond and it was clear there would be a challenge if I fished conventional big carp style as I found out that tiny size 18 hooks and 3 pound line with match fishing tactics, maggots, and refined pole fishing tactics had been the main way to catch them until recently. I could have simply fished a bunch of maggots but that was cheating to me.
I tried worms but after a couple of aborted takes on small worms on a size 4 hook it was clear the carp were sucking on the ends of the worms and could easily detect the big hook and heavy line used on the ledger rig and this occurred on heavy and light leads, using running, fixed and semi-fixed styles. (These fish were clued-up and rig-shy for sure.) I could have tried any of a number of approaches and rigs to get an edge with worms, but this seemed too easy. I wanted really to catch these experienced fish on cruder tackle and much bigger baits you might want to use for far bigger carp.
The thought occurred to me that I could exploit the fact they had obviously been trained to take free ground baits on the drop as this would offer an often much safer way to feed without getting hooked. There I simply made up a size 4 hook direct to 18 pound monofilament line (snags abounded in this pond) and upon this placed 2 half centimetre square cubes of luncheon meat so the hook point was proud. Slightly above the eye of the hook I added a 2 centimetre piece of bread flake moulded down the eye so it was bread paste just above the eye and the soft flake covered the luncheon meat and obscured the point of the hook.
The next stage was simply to feed small pieces of flake into open water not the snaggy spots and then after half an hour of doing this to gently flick the hook bait out. Of course the immediate result was that a fish was hooked within 5 seconds of the bait starting to slowly sink, it being taken confidently and with a great rush, on the drop.
This fish turned out to be the biggest in the pond and was an absolutely beautiful purple-bronze coloured common of about 6 pounds.
Fishing conventional rigs on the bottom and surface would have taken a lot of perseverance and many missed bites in order to catch this fish, but just the simple change of bait and approach, even on very heavy tackle caught this fish immediately. I guess the point of this capture was that it is often we anglers that make fish conditioned to avoid rigs and accept various baits in whatever forms and states in the water, and in our own habitual actions and conventional approaches lie the answers to many of the obstacles we may have to catching small and big fish…
So next time you automatically reach for that rig, or set of baits you might usually use as you have so frequently before, just imagine the potential impact of using a different approach and bait format which is based on exploiting the conditioning your rig and baits have induced! In so many ways doing things differently is the real point that catches those harder-to-catch big fish dreams are made of, just in the same way that in life, it is not what happens to you that determines success but how you respond to it…
