Custom Adventures Of All Types, For All Types...

Headwaters Guides does all things outdoors worth doing: fly fishing, skiing, climbing, mountaineering, running, you name it...

Our adventures include everything from bending the rod while battling huge brown trout with streamers on the Green, to catching facial shots in 18" of new powder off Superior, to experiencing the sunrise from the summit of Timp.

I believe the active life is the best life.

Otherwise, see you somewhere on The Outside...

Hot fishing amid cold temps on the Green River

Matt, Kevin, and I headed up to float Section A of the Green River. A late-Spring snow storm did not deter us, nor did the lonely girls dressed in PJ's in the Maverick Gas Station in Mountain View, UT. The snows did not relent for the entire day, leaving me wondering at times why I wasn't skiing in the deep powder rather than fishing the freezing temps. I personally only stayed as warm as the fishing was good. Fortunately, the fishing in the afternoon did warm up. Of course, on the Green one is always guaranteed the catch of breathtaking scenery. I have a new appreciation of this river, as I had never fished it in a snowstorm. The fresh snow on the green junipers, set against the red rock cliffs, certainly made for some memorable scenery, regardless of the fishing. Either way, the fishing did improve. Enjoy this video of Matt's underwater release of a nice rainbow, one of 20 we caught on the trip. Excuse the jitteriness of the video; rod-bending and fish-landing tend to get everyone in a bit of a fray.


Fishing was fine for all.

    Nice video. I have seen clearer video of Bigfoot. Great times out there. I am trying to find time to write up my report as well. Thanks again for inviting me. It was a total blast!

    Yeah, the amateur videographer needs a tutorial. Thanks for bringing it though Kevin. I see it as an excuse to get back out on the Provo and get some decent underwater footage of releasing a trout.
