The Cutthroat Chapter hosts multi-day trips to the Green River in April, the Bighorn River in May, and the San Juan River in October each year.

We share the costs of the rental home(s)/resort plus organize carpools to help lower the price of the trips. The trips are four to five nights which can accommodate 10 – 12 fly fishers and are usually full each year, so sign up early!

Starting in 2024, a $150 non-refundable deposit is now required to sign up paid by check or other electronic means as determined by the organizer of the trip.

In 2025, sign-ups for the trips will begin with the announcement of the dates in the January Newsletter.

The trips are first-come-first-served based on when your deposit is received by the organizer. If your deposit is received after the trip is full then your deposit will be returned, and you will be added to a waitlist. If you need to cancel for any reason after your deposit has been received by the organizer, then you must find someone to replace you who will pay you the $150 deposit. If you cannot find someone to replace you then your deposit will be forfeited to the other participants to help offset the additional costs.

Carpools are organized to help lower transportation costs. The driver typically does not pay for fuel as there is wear and tear on the vehicle, so the fuel is paid for by the other occupant(s).

The Green River – April 22nd – 26th, 2024

We fish the ‘A’ section of the Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Utah. The trip is scheduled in April to match with the Mayfly hatch. The canyon walls and the greenish color of the river provide a spectacular backdrop to your fishing experience. Beautiful large Rainbows and Browns are numerous. Some fishers will use guides or personal watercraft to float the seven miles from the dam to the Little Hole take-out while others will wade fish up the canyon from Little Hole.

We stay at Flaming Gorge Resort which sleeps six in four bedrooms and a kitchen to cook our meals. Three recently updated motel rooms with two fishers each are also used to accommodate the twelve people. We usually grill Tri-tips the first night, and Italian, Mexican, or something else the other nights. You will be assigned to a meal team that will provide the food, prepare it, and clean up one night for everyone. You are responsible for your breakfast and lunch.

The price range of the accommodations per fisher is typically $300 to $400 for the four nights depending on the final number of participants. The trip is limited to 12 people.

Please reach out to the trip organizer for current availability for this trip.
