Join Us For The Green River Single Fly Tournament
The Utah Single Fly, held on the Utah's beautiful Green River, is a fly fishing tournament whose mission is to raise funds to assist in the continued efforts for the improvements of fisheries within the Green River drainage. This event has become a great way for our chapter to help with improving our local waters. We have been able to use some of the proceeds to partner with the Utah Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Ashley National forest. Some of these projects have been years in the making and have greatly benefited all that have fished in these waters.
Where Nature And Fun Become One!
We are currently working on the restoration of Brush Creek, a 1.7 mile section that lies between the SimplotMine and the Red Fleet reservoir. This restoration includes access agreements, a parking lot, trail, and bank restoration for trout habitat.
This project was started by our chapter, and along with the Utah Fish and Wildlife efforts, has become a reality. Construction is scheduled to start in the spring of 2023. This years proceeds will be used towards the continuation of this project and other projects in the Green River drainage.
