Good guides can really make the trip.....especially when have come a long way. We had two such guides on the Green River in Doug Burton and Darren Bowcutt. Both guides standout for their willingness to really do the work necessary to insure your success, flexibility to optimize fishing, and instructive awareness to subtle changes in fishing conditions.
Doug has fished the Green River for fifteen-plus years and is considered to be the dean of river guides. He has an awesome custom-made wood boat made from exotic African hardwoods to prove it. His overall knowledge is matched by a willingness to try different approaches (read innovative) to insure you get into fish.
Darren is the next generation. Eager to demonstrate and impart fishing skills while observant of your catch rate versus other boats. His knowledge of what works on this river and a naturally competitive nature have established him as of the best.

Spring Creek Ranch in Minnies Gap, WY about 10 miles from Dutch John, Utah is a great place to stay. The rooms are clean and have a view of the eighty-four square mile working ranch. The ranch made our trip to the Green River truly special. Full ranch breakfast of eggs, pancakes, breakfast meats, and fresh biscuits is included. They also serve dinner for a reasonable cost. The owners are warm, eager to please and have great stories. Contact Wayne at 307-350-3005.
