Fly Fishing Rivers with Huge Trout
Fly fishing as a sport or recreation is popular among fishing enthusiasts. The trout is the largest in the char family. Trout are usually caught in lakes and rivers. These fish do not thrive in warm waters and instead go to colder places in order to survive.
The United States has a lot of fly fishing rivers. Some of these famous for their big trouts are the Big Horn in Montana, AU Sable in Michigan, and Green in Utah. Fall, Hat, Lower Sacramento, Owens, Pit, and Mc Cloud are rivers in California. These rivers offer great fly fishing aside from the big trout found there.
The Green River is located beneath the Flaming Gorge Dam. The tail water helps the river to be colder and make it conducive for the survival of trout here. The water maintains a stable temperature all year round making it a suitable habitat for trout. It is found in Northern Utah and extends over 30 miles. The upper stretch is the Red Canyon stretch. This spot is a good place to catch trout. Visitors in the Flaming Gorge National Park love fly fishing here.
Some of the trout in Green River can weigh up to about 30 pounds. The average sized measures around 16 inches. Brown trout are the common catch. Few rainbows and some cutthroats are also found here. The water is clear with greenish bottom. That is why the river is named Green. It is also a suitable place for pools and it offers scenic views for the visitors.
The San Juan River in New Mexico is one of the best fly fishing rivers in the world. This river has a large population of trout. The usual trout's size caught in the San Juan River measures 20 inches. Other fish like cut bows, rainbows and brown trout measure about 17 inches. Flies or tippets or worms can be used as baits while fishing.
The river is slow flowing and wide. It extends through the Navajo Dam. The tail water is crystal clear. The cold tail water is fed by the snow coming from the San Juan Mountains. The tail water at the river averages 45oF or 7oC throughout the year. This is really a perfect place for trout to live.
The Madison River in Montana is also a favorite spot for fly fishing. The water in this river runs steadily at the same speed. It makes a good choice for the novice and hobbyists. The trout and other native fish rise on the surface to catch grasshoppers abounding in the area. The spring season is a perfect time to catch rainbows here. Browns are usually caught during the autumn.
The Madison River is also called the “50 mile Rifle.” The river flows for 50 miles in a steady line. Fish commonly caught in the river weighs around 6 pounds. Fishermen in the area ride on boats or tubes. The river and lakes fed by it are productive. Fly fishing techniques differ from river to river. Different conditions of the river, water behavior and the weather make it more challenging for fly fishing.
The Snake River runs through the Jackson Hole in Yellow Stone National Park. It then enters the Snake River Canyon going to the Palisades reservoir. Fly fishing is more convenient here if done on drift boat. It has plenty of cutthroat trout native in the area. Trout can be catch in the Snake River from early April to the end of October. This is the time when it gets really cold here.

fly line and leader/tippet?
i am taking up fly fishing and am looking to purchase a fly line and leader or tippet. I don't really know the diff between leaders and tippets so that info would also be appreciated. What brands are best? What type of fly line and tippet/leader should I get for stream trout?
i have a 5wt 8'6" rod
For fly lines I'm guessing you have a 5 or 6 weight rod which is a pretty standard size for most trout fishing. You need to get the corresponding size fly line. You definitely want to start with a floating line since they are way easier to cast. My favorite floating trout fly line is the Royal Wulff Triangular Taper in white.
A leader goes on the end of the fly line. Usually they are tapered which means they start out thicker (on the end that connects to the fly line) and gets thinner toward the tip. A tippet is just a small amount of line tied on the end of the leader. The only real purpose of the tippet is to extend the life of your leader since every time you change a fly, which can be pretty often, you lose about 2" off your line. After you have used up a lot of your tippet, you can just replace it with a new one to add some length. You can also just blow off the tippet altogether or just put one on your leader after it starts getting short.
Two important decisions you need to make for your leader is the size and length and they really depend on what type of fishing you will do. For trout fishing in a small river, a standard setup might be something like a 7.5' to 9' tapered leader that is about 6X in size. That setup would be appropriate for dry flies and small nymphs. If you have a flyshop nearby ask them for the best setup for the particular water you will fish. Reasons that you would deviate from these sizes would be if the trout were really spooky (leader shy) where you might want to go with a 12' maybe 7X leader. Conversely, if your going to be throwing really big flies/streamers for say steelhead or stripers, you might use a 4' 8lb test Maxima monofilament leader. Don't plan on a delicate presentation with that setup though!
Since you are just starting out, it would be a good idea to have someone show you how to cast. Unless you have water close by, a park is a great place to practice casting. A word of caution though, don't practice casting on pavement since it will trash your line.
Tight lines!!!
