The Location & Fishery:

The Upper Green River in Southwest Wyoming delivers a rugged, high-country fly fishing experience. This stretch of the Green known by many as "The Upper" flows out of Fontanelle Reservoir and is known for producing some of the largest—and most aggressive—trout in the region. Anglers can expect opportunities at Rainbow, Brown, and native Cutthroat trout, and the often under appreciated but still majestic Rocky Mountain Whitefish.

You will consistently have chances at fish in the 18-22” range, with an occasional chance of a much larger fish always on the horizon.  The fishery is remote, challenging and will, at times, test your skills as an angler.

Wind and inconsistent weather patterns are a daily occurrence. Perseverance and patience are a must in order to succeed on this river. But, the rewards are often great for those who are willing to put in the work.

These trips are available for a full day only and require some travel. We recommend that anglers should plan on staying in Evanston, WY or Kemmerer, WY to cut down on the travel to and from the river which is about three and a half hours from our shop.

What We Provide:

  • Rods & Reels* - Our guides set you up with a high-quality rod and reel that match your experience level and the trip at hand.
  • Flies - Guides will chose the most current patterns daily from our shop’s selection of top quality flies.
  • Terminal Tackle - Included in the price of every trip is all terminal tackle including tippet, split shot, leaders, and strike indicators.
  • Wading Gear* - Our premium waders and wading boots from Orvis & Redington will keep you dry (and help you stay upright) throughout the trip.
  • Transportation to/from Evanston or Kemmerer, WY* - Our guides will set a meeting point in either of these towns in order to shorten your day. This service must be arranged prior.
  • Lunch - Our guides will serve up a nice lunch on the boat during your float. Please let us know of any dietary restrictions or food allergies at the time of booking.

*You’re always welcome to bring your own gear if you’d prefer, nothing beats fishing your own equipment. However, we dont offer a discount for doing so.

For Those Anglers who need waders & boots, please plan on stopping into Fishwest Fly Shop prior to your trip in order to get outfitted for your day on the water.
