The fishing world got some great news this spring. Renowned guide and conservationist Emmett Heath is back on the Green after a serious heart operation and lengthy rehabilitation period. Friends and fellow anglers toast his health.
For over 20 years, Emmett has been widely recognized as the keeper of the Green River. As a guide, his knowledge is simply unsurpassed. Emmett's name is synonymous with this world class fishery: he has guided thousands of happy anglers on its waters, pioneered its fly patterns and techniques, and led conservation efforts to protect trout waters throughout the region. Trout may rue his return, but the Green welcomes back a true ally.
Emmett returns to the Green as the manager of a significant new fly shop and guide service. Green River Outfitters is located east of the Flaming Gorge Dam in the small town of Dutch John. Emmett runs the shop, so every visiting angler can pick his brain before and after fishing. He is still guiding some, but most often Emmett will be in the shop talking with fishermen and managing is guide team.
Utah's Green River is among the richest trout streams in North America, offering prolific hatches from early spring through late fall each year. Thirty miles of trout water flow through a geographic transition zone that begins between the sheer canyon wall of the Flaming Gorge (Red Canyon) and emerges in the high desert of northern Utah. The fishing is equally diverse. In a single day the angler might catch fish on single midge dry flies, size 8 Chernobyl Ants, and a host of nymph patterns.
Emmett has developed highly refined preferences for tackle and technique over the years. He fishes Scott G2-Series rods with dry flies for most of the summer, but breaks out Scott 7 & 8-weight saltwater rods for streamer fishing in the fall and early spring.
Call Emmett in advance to schedule guided days for your next trip to the Green. Most importantly, though, stop and say hello. Welcome back, Emmett.
