All I can say is that the Green River is a pretty tough river to fly fish as a beginner. I would not start anyone out on that River. I don't care what anyone says. You have to be a very good fly fisherman to catch alot of, and big fish on that River. It offers some good open spaces to a beginner learning to cast, but unless you hit it during one of its signature hatches, it can be one of the most frustrating rivers in the world to fish.
If I were to help someone learn how to fly fish, I would start them out on a river that I was confident they could catch a fish or 2. The Green gets too much pressure and the fish are very smart. Plus the bigger rivers, such as the Green, can be a bit overwhelming to the beginning fly fisherman.
