Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green is flowing very high right now, be careful boating or wading the Green. The flows should remain this way for 1 more week. Fishing the Green with heavy nymph rigs or streamers will produce some fish. When the river drops below about 3500 CFS. the fishing should go crazy. Cicada’s are there and the fish will start to key in on the Cicada’s and other bugs on the surface at that water level. Pay close attention to the water temperature it is cold now and as the temperature climbs the fish activity will increase also. The best fishing of the summer is going to happen our best guess is the middle of June will be excellent.
Latest Flows
~7340 CFS.

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.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
Streamer fishing on the Green has been excellent. The river has a fluctuation of flows during the day. The flow will spike in the A.M. from just about 1300 cfs to ~2500 cfs and remain at the peak flow for a few hours before dropping again. The fishing will be better when the river is higher so try to get out when the flows are peaking.
