Over thanksgiving break, my family always goes to the Flaming Gorge area. We cut our Christmas tree down and we fish the Green River. In the past, I have struggled on the green. Having only caught two fish in my life out of several trips. Anyways, this year, we hiked way downstream to fish some new water and slayed the browns and a few cuttbows. (There is a video link below if any of you are interested)

Me and my dad have thrown Spinners, Crankbaits and several flies in the past and have never had a TON of luck so we decided to try something new. We both were throwing little jerkbaits (3-4" length) we tried several colors but silver/pearl white seemed to work the best. The twitch would get there attention, and then in the clear water we would pause the lure and watch them smash it! All fish were caught on the middle treble hook. You know their hungry if they are eating head first! It was an awesome day and we ended up catching 11 total. BY FAR our best day on the green!

Yeah, that's the hat that I actually attach my GoPro to so normally it is covering my eyes. Had to turn it around to get the good lighting for the pic.

Miss fly fishing that river...had many epic days there with 40+ fish averaging 20"s, especially during the cicada hatches. And the scenery can't be beat on section A. There are also monsters on the lower sections!
