Greys River in Wyoming

[gstott]

I ended up fishing The Greys this weekend too. I'd never fished it, but it sounded like my kind of place. I ended up just getting stuck at the little picnic site at the beginning of the canyon as my wife and mother in law wanted to shop in Jackson, so they dropped me off there so they could find me easily. Had a pretty good day. Fished from about 10:30-2:30 and scored 50 cutts. Most were little guys in the 6-10" range, but I caught several around 12-14", and a few bigger fish as well. I did best with a size 12 Turks for an indicator and caught them on flashback hare's ears, caddis emergers, and a Copper John in green/black, sizes 14 and 16. I also caught that second large cutthroat on a size 12 Mohawk, but everything else would refuse it, so I went to a stimulator which also caught some fish. The best fly was a Copper John/Pheasant Tail hybrid sort of thing with natural pheasant tail fibers for the tail and wing case, brown wire for the abdomen, and peacock sparkle dubbing for the thorax and a strip of olive flashabou over the top of the wing case. I only had one of these, and it eventually got chewed up. I'll be tying more to try on The Logan though. The water is clear and not too high, but I didn't dare cross it, it was too swift and those rocks are pretty slippery. Hopefully I'll make it up for a more serious trip someday, I really want to explore that canyon, and the Little Greys sounds very nice.
