 thingamabobber strike indicatorThe Thingamabobber has revolutionized the fly fishing world.  Did you know it was invented right here on the Green River.   Flaming Gorge Resort guide Brian Westover is the originator of the famed Thingamabobber.  We (the guides here) would use small balloons as strike indicators.  They were messy and would often pop.   Brian thought there had to be a better way.   If you have ever fished  a thingamabobber  you would have to agree he was right.   They come in an assortment of size of colors making them useful on any water.   From easy to see bright colors to the stealthy clear glow in the dark, there is a color for all situations.  They are most likely the most durable indicator on the market.   Get a five pack  and you will lose them long before you wear them out.   

April Rainbows

What's the Catch? 

This week it is a big Bow getting into spawning colors. As April begins so will some of the Rainbows. Rainbows spawn in April and May here on the Green. Blue Wing Olives are in force during April and that is what really brings excitement to the fly fishing community. Look for pods of large fish sipping on the sail boat winged may flies. Blue Wings come in great abundance which coincides with great dry fly fishing. There are plenty of fish looking to acquiesce your offering!
