What's the trout fishing like on the Green River in Oct? I'll be looking around north of the Warren Bridge on highway 189. I'm not a fly fisherman, spoons and spinners I am thinking so far.
 
It's usually quite good, but flows could be quite low this year. Although the headwaters are getting a bunch of snow right now and, compared to everywhere else, are in pretty good shape. I wouldn't bank on putting a boat in in October! If nothing else, it is an unbelievable landscape to hang out in.
 
Fishing is ok - not necessarily great enough to be specifically worth the trip but if you're there to hunt, the fishing is good enough to warrant bringing a rod.

Be warned! I cannot attest to the mosquitoes in October, but during other times of year I assert they are some of the worst swarms in the lower 48. It is literally the only place where I was driven to seek shelter from mosquito clouds.

Edit: I also found my first elk antler shed up there. That was pretty cool.
 
I'll be in the area for a cow elk tag. Not drawn yet but I'm all but 100% I'll have that tag again. I'll be staying right near the river and coming out 5 days early so figured we'd bring some fishing rods along.
