1010 | Green River Dry Fly Fishing with Scott Barrus - Hatches, Spinner Fall, Dean of the Green

#1010 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/1010

Presented by: Pescador on the Fly, Yellowstone Teton Territory - Visit Idaho, Togiak River Lodge, Blue Bonefish Lodge

Scott Barrus arrived at Spinner Fall in 1998 as a 21-year-old shuttle driver, sleeping behind a couch and fishing every day. A year later, he spent his college tuition money on a drift boat and began his guiding career on the Green River.

Today, I sit down with Scott to explore the 30 miles below Flaming Gorge Dam in Utah. We cover the A, B, and C sections, blue-winged olive hatches in April and May, summer caddis, and cicada fishing that can bring trout looking for your fly.

Scott also shares why he usually fishes a 12-foot leader with 4X tippet, the story behind the Chernobyl Ant, and why seeing trout rise through the Green’s clear water can make you set the hook too soon.
