Taking a Rookie to the Green

I'm trying to take a friend to the Green tomarrow, It will be his virgin Steelheading trip, only trouble is I have fished several other rivers but not this one. I thought I would start him off with a jig and float and work up to the corkies and drift fishing. Any body have good info on where to hit this river and if it has been any good to anybody lately? I've heard of the park up top and the Hwy 18 bridge, any other suggestions. Not trying to get at anybodies Zipperlip area if there is any on the green, just some general pointers. Thanks

Never Enough,

Personaly, I like to fish the area from Main Steet in Auburn, up to the highway 18 bridge. I grew up right down there, and have pretty good success over the years. There are a lot of snags in some areas, but they are pretty apparent. Also, it seems that there isnt as much pressure as there is abouve highway 18, due to -no boats, and its a little less popular area. You can cover alot of water in there, because there is a little road that follows the river all the way to the railroad tracks.

In case you are not familiar with the area, follow main street (east) almost all the way to the end, you will be within a block of the end, turn right on "T" street, and then the first left takes you stright to the river access. There is a small parking area there. Once you get down to the river, you will see the road I am talking about, just follow it to the right, as there are houses down river from that spot.

Good luck, have fun.

I hear there are quite a few fish running around in the green, both steelhead and salmon.

The Green is where I got my steelheading start, a late uncle of mine took me to the foot bridge across from the Auburn golf course and taught me the basics of driftfishing, on our 3rd trip there I lost my virginity an have been hooked (no pun intended) ever since. I took my best friend there shortly after and on his first trip he hooked and landed a 14lbs. factory hen, we have both caught hundreds since then but that is still one of our favorite spots. I usually have the spot to myself or maybe no more then a couple other fisherman. Good luck.

Last I heard was up high on the Green was good.

ive been fishing the green from 259th up to the golf course, its been real slow since the chums moved up to flaming geyser...ive seen only one steelhead caught in the last week
