Green River Fishing Report 5/1/2020

Location

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

 The Green river below Flaming Gorge Dam has just been dropped to about 1000 cfs. This a big reduction in the flow, but the fish have responded well and the fishing is really good. Nymphing should be the most productive, however if you see heads up try the dry. The fishing is dependent on the hatch, so midges and baetis are the way to go.
