Professional Fly Fishing Guides
For nearly three decades, Trout Creek’s professional fly fishing guides have been leading anglers to successfully fish and experience the world-class fishery the Green River and Flaming Gorge Reservoir have to offer. Owner, Johnny Spillane, has integrated his Olympic award-winning work ethic and precision into Trout Creek in an effort to match the greatness of the Green River.
John Sparger
When he discovered fly fishing, working for Trout Creek, at the age of 18, it was a perfect fit. John has been guiding the Green River since 2006, in that time he has learned to become a patient instructor in the techniques and nuances of fishing the Green, with specific emphasis on his favorite techniques of dry fly and streamer fishing.

Brandon believes that it’s not just about guiding people into fish, but empowering individuals to become better anglers.

Being born and raised in the upstate of the Carolinas, it’s only natural for my blood to run orange and my heart to be rooted in those wise ole Appalachian Mountains. In 2009, I had the opportunity to spend six months immersed in all things “a-puh-LATCH-uhn”, spanning the length of Georgia to Maine at the pace my feet were willing to allow. Consequences of hiking long distances lead me to California in 2015. Along the way, I was exposed to even older rock that offered its’ own intoxicating appeal: the canyon country along the winding Green River in Utah. I was transfixed then as I am now.
Most days you’ll find me on the river dipping oars until complete darkness blankets the slopes of the Uinta Mountains. Other days, I’ll be found spotting tailing carp along the shallows of Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Regardless of the day, my feet have taken a backseat to my arms.

Green River Fishing Report
May 4, 2026
Flows: 8,600 cfs
Temps: 44-45 F
Drought conditions this year have brought about changes to our flows. Lake Powell is in trouble and water from the Flaming Gorge is being sent to help. Currently, the flows are at a steady 4,670 cfs, but the presence of razorback larvae downriver have been observed and the Fish and Wildlife Service have requested the implementation of the Larval Trigger Study Plan releases. The flows will increase to 8,600 on May 4th in increments at 10 am-1 pm. There is still some good fishing to be had, and the fish will be concentrated in the back eddies and the slower edges of the river. Nymphing has been most productive technique, but high flows always bring a chance for good streamer fishing as well. There are terrestrial insects around, and bwo’s are still present, but the dry fly fishing is tough at these higher flows.
Go-To Flies:
Worm patterns in different colors-red, pink, and brown. Sow bug patterns-gray (sz.14-18) Scud patterns-gray, olive, and orange-(sz.10-18) Egg patterns-pink, peach, and yellow. BWO patterns-(sz.16-18) Cranefly larvae-tan, olive (sz.4-8) Streamer patterns-articulated-olive, ginger, and white.
