Has anyone been up to and fished the Duchesne or West fork of the Duchesne?
Hopefully not the West fork just yet. [sly]

Wasatch counties

•Artificial flies and lures only.
•CLOSED Jan. 1 through 6 a.m. on the

That’s true, I should have clarified just the Duchesne as the west fork doesn’t open until tomorrow. oops!
I am curious about the Duchesne also. I haven’t fished it in years. Absolutely beautiful river. I remember an epic Green Drake hatch in 2005, I think it was - my brother and I landed numerous 18 to 21 inch browns in that hatch. The big fish in that river are beautiful, but can be difficult to catch if there is not a hatch going on. Never tried streamers - that might work in the early morning or late evening this time of year.

Not tomorrow. A week from this Saturday.
