For the next few days while we'll be camping and fishing the best water you can find in Utah. This region is home to what could be the greatest brown trout fishery in the world. Follow along as we explore this incredible, wild place.
Job well done on the cinematography. The green has the most trout per square mile, but it is also one of the hardest due to pressure and water clarity. Presentation is key to having success on this river, and that honestly just takes days of practice. I learned how to fly fish on this river. I was blessed to have a family home in Dutch John for many years. Those rising fish were taking size 22 to 20 BWO dries on your first over cast day. On the sunny days those and size 20 midge dries would be key to dry fly fishing as well.
It would be an incredible experience to grow up so close to the river. I couldn't agree more, those fish are picky. The BWO hatch is tough as well just because there can be so many bugs on the water. I find it challenging to convince the fish to pick my fly when it's surrounded by the real deal, haha. I really appreciate the advice and kind words! Thanks for watching!
Love watching you guys enjoy what you do! I moved to Smithfield a few months ago, and I'm glad to see all the potential and beauty nearby. I'm slowly exploring!
Excellent filming. Having grown up in Vernal I will give you a tip on catching a real monster. Don’t stop fishing at dark. Use a 7 inch fluorescent minnow imitation below the dam to little hole. Good luck 👍
This film was awesome. Getting me pumped for my trip to Zion area in March. If I can have a quarter of the success it looked like you had, I will be ecstatic.
Making a consumable fishing vid is tough so props for that. Caught my eye to see a film about my walking trail LOL. Best of luck in you film making endeavors.
@@mountainwell amen, I just moved to Utah from out east but I’ve lived in Idaho and caught a lot of 20inch trout and a 27inch brown on spinning rod I love it out here. I’m editing a video rn I caught 80 trout here in Utah yesterday in 3 hours 18 on nymphs the rest on rapala 😂if you ever wanna collab lmk 👌🏼
I think it should be on everyone's list. If you do your trip right, there are tons of incredible rivers surrounding the Northern Utah, Southern Idaho, Western Wyoming region!
Great video guys! I have been lucky enough to spend the last 26 years fishing this river and living in Dutch John. I hope to see you guys next time you visit.
Nice work and cinematography! Hoping to get into fish filming this summer with my husband. The I learned from the New Fly Fisher “trouuuut” comment had me dying. We say the same thing these days 😂.
Sweet vid, glad you guys got some redemption on the final day, makes the bad days worth it. Also, that one fish that you said looks like a bird got it, it looks like it actually was another fish!
I have had more than one long ride home after a tough trip, but I guys that's what gets us coming back. Big Browns eat smaller trout often, or at least try to!@@mountainwell
This was filmed on a Sony A7r4, DJI Air 2s, and Go Pro Hero 12! The footage out of the Sony was filmed in an HLG3 color profile, which helps with the color grading in post!
I attached a go pro mount to the end of it. It allows us to get better shots under water without disturbing holes as much! Thinking about filming something climbing related here in the near future!
Great video, but y'all were fishing redds. I don't know if that etiquette is fine in UT, but I'd suggest leaving those spawning fish alone. There's a reason a bunch of similar sized browns were stacked in shallow, slow water. The aerial shot of you casting, you could see the lighter colored gravel of the bottom below where your bobber landed, which is all spawning water.
It would depend on the river. This stretch of river deals with overpopulation issues. River managers actually advertise fishing during the spawn. When the population gets to high it stunts the growth of the fish and hurts the health of the overall fishery.
Love your vids man! Am a local to the west of you (Tremonton) and am getting into content creating fly fishing as well. We should make something together! Keep that skin in your nets boys🫶
How do you like living in Logan? Planning on seeing that area this summer . You said you moved from the east coast? What part? I'm in western PA. Nice filming! Yall killed it once you got it dialed in! Sweet! Tightlines!
It's incredible! Great access to fly fishing in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho! My buddy Logan moved out from PA and likes enough here that he doesn't plan to go back haha. I appreciate the watch and the kind words man! Take care!
No offense but I’m so glad to see other guys suck on this river Nice to hear you had some guys tell you what to use…most guys on that river are stingy af on what to use
Haha, I will be the first to admit that I have gotten whooped on that river my entire life. I've found that there are a few hatches that are more consistent than others, Ciquedas being the best! Thanks so much for watching, man!
Ain't that the truth! The fish are picky as hell. I was there a couple of days ago and got lucky to have a guy nymphing straight across from me who told me what he was using so I managed to catch a few.
Just moved to Utah from Az . Have fished browns all over Az but havent a clue where to go or any guys to go with. Any dudes near cedar wanna go out im always down! .
Utah is awesome!! Look north and you'll find great locations. The boulder mountains have a lifetime worth of exploring and fly fishing you could do! Thanks for watching man!
Thanks man! We were beneath flaming gorge here. So stoked you enjoyed. The next one, Lord of the Flies | Volume 1 - coming out here in the next week or so!
As a southern utah transplant, Def looking forward to it 👍 If you get a chance, you should try and complete the utah Cuthroat slam ;) if ya haven't already.
Nothing like mid 20 year olds finding out about spawning browns in late October. $1000 says those same 4 guys will be camped out at that spot at the same time for the next decade. This is the reason I can no longer fish the Green and see what it has become
Hey Jake, totally understand the concern here, we're certainly advocates of conservation and keeping the fishery healthy. River managers in this region are concerned with overpopulation and encourage folks to get out this time of year so the fish can grow bigger and stay healthy. I noticed you had mentioned we'd likely be back this November in another comment. You can count on that and tag along in Guardians of the Green | Volume 3. Appreciate the watch and interest!
And then they will wonder why there aren't as many fish as "there used to be" just a few years down the road but hey....today was fun though right!!?? I'm not innocent from fishing Redds either but someone had to help me with the realization of what I was actually doing to the fishery too. When you falsely believe that just one group of dudes can't hurt it, you don't understand that you aren't the first group or the last to do the same thing day after day after day. It starts with me and then you and then the next guy leaving them alone that will make the river BETTER than you found it. Be BETTER for all of us
