Who Went: Roger
Parks, Roger’s buddy, Dunc
Roger invited
me on a day trip up on the Green River below Fontenelle Dam. We drove to the Weeping Rock Campground, but
the place was packed so we headed down the road a bit to Slate Creek Campground
and fished there.
Roger’s friend
(can’t recall his name) was the first to hook up with a nice brown caught on a
San Juan worm. Unfortunately, I didn’t
get the photo from him, so I have no evidence.
Him and Roger
moved down river and I went up. They
ended up catching a few other rainbows.
I had a nice brown on that I lost right at the bank. Caught it on a hare’s ear. That would have been the fish of the
trip. I also landed a few small rainbows
that made the day worth it. The weather
and scenery were gorgeous. Landing large
trout on the fly rod is not easy!
