| EACH APRIL WE MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO UTAH'S GREEN RIVER, TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF THIS COUNTRY'S FINEST TROUT FISHING. THE GREEN RIVER IS PURPORTED TO HAVE MORE TROUT PER MILE, THEN ANY OTHER RIVER IN THE U.S. AS YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PHOTOS BELOW, NOT ONLY ARE THEY NUMEROUS, BUT THEY ARE LARGE AND HEALTHY AS WELL. THIS ANNUAL TRIP IS HOSTED BY
FLY FISHING LEGEND "ANDRE PUYANS", WHO ARRANGES FOR AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE
IN, FISHING, LODGING AND FOOD. THIS YEARS GROUP INCLUDED A NUMBER OF REGULARS AS WELL AS
SOME "FIRST TIMERS". |
