Green River Fishing Reports

Location

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 860 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. No news yet on when the river will be bumped. The water temp has changed about 5 degrees and the fish seem to be more active. The baetis are still significant. The nymphing is consistently good during the baetis hatch. Small cicadas and flying ants have started to show up so try the bigger dries in your box. Dry flies, emergers, and nymphs have all been productive. Streamer fishing can still be productive below Red Creek.

Overview

The Green is flowing around 820 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. The water is at 38 degrees F. Streamer fishing can still be productive. There have been some sightings of BWOs, but not many fish eating up top outside of the back eddies. Try fishing some medium and shallow nymph rigs in the slower runs. Midges are the hatch to focus on for now.

Overview

The Green is flowing around 910 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. Not much change here except for the streamer bite will only get better, so get out your heavier rods (6wt or 7wt) for slinging those big meaty flies.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 960 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. It is likely that the flow will remain at this level or even lower for the duration of the winter. The fishing is good and getting better. The streamer bite is on, so get ready to throw some big flies. Nymphing should be a good option too. The fish are spawning so we recommend avoiding fishing to redds.
