Hey yall,
Hope everyone has had a great summer of fishing so far. I have a pretty open request for information. I have a best friend who really taught me how to and got me hooked on fly fishing in high school who is thinking of flying all the way out from Pennsylvania to fish here for probably about a week. Anyhow, if he makes that trek - I want to show him the best fishing trip of his life. I think I have already decided that we will probably fish the Provo and the Green, as these are Rivers I am confident he will want to fish as he has heard a lot about them and they are well known throughout the U.S.
After that, the possibilities seem endless - but I am thinking that if the trip happens, we will hit either some south slope streams of the Uintas or potentially some North Slope Streams ... or maybe both. What I would be really interested to know is if anyone has fished any of those waters around October. I am specifically thinking of streams like Yellowstone River (South) and Smith's Fork (North). I also would be interested in fishing a lake or two, particularly if there would be some spawning or pre-spawning movement going on around this time. This seems like it could be a very exciting time of the year to catch some aggressive, fat fish.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I am always grateful for those willing to impart their knowledge to others. Sure means a lot, particularly to a kid from out of state who is obsessed with fly-fishing.
