What a winning fly looks like compared to its unused brother from the Utah Single Fly Tournament on the Green River

By Brett Prettyman

Rumors of the demise of the Trout Unlimited Single Fly Tournament on Utah’s Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam were greatly exaggerated – at least for a while. The annual event to raise money for conservation projects was postponed back in May, but a local chapter of Trout Unlimited has jumped at the opportunity to keep the fun and important event alive.

Brown trout are the predominant catch on the Green River

The High Desert Anglers chapter of Trout Unlimited is inviting teams to head for Dutch John and the scenic Green River Aug. 27-28. Picking the potential winning fly is difficult enough, but keeping it on your line is more difficult than it might seem. The cost for a team of four is $2,500 and includes a guided float down the A or B sections of the famous Green River. Money from the tournament is slated for stream restoration to benefit native cutthroat trout and a Blue Ribbon trout fishery on a reservoir in northeastern Utah.

If fishing is slow there is always the chance an angler can win this prestigious award.

For more details and to register send and email (dandcroper@msn.com) or call Dan Roper at 406-514-0084.
