Green River Fishing Reports

Location

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

 The Green River is fishy. The flows are good at ~2280 cfs. It’s definitely the tail end of the cicada hatch, but they’re still looking for the big bug. Caddis and Yellow Sallies are on the lower river and fish are definitely starting to get interested. On A, the caddis are coming off in the evenings and PMDs are starting to show up in good numbers. Nymphing is “stupid good”.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

 The Green River is projected to come down and the cicadas have the potential to go off. This means epic dry fly activity with cicada patterns. The flow currently is at  ~9150 cfs, but the schedule (picture posted above) shows the schedule for future flows. June 24th should be the day to get out and fish dries.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

 The Yampa River is projected to peak, so the Green River Flows will be reduced soon so not to flood the Jensen Utah Area. This means once the Yampa is back down, the Green will likely go back up. Dry fly fishing is practically non-existent, but try fishing a cicada pattern if you’re determined to fish up top. Nymphing is your best bet. Streamers are always a great option for higher flows. Fingers crossed we can get to a more fishy flow.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

Spring is continuing to be good for the Green and river traffic is picking up. Flows have picked up to 2000cfs in the morning and a 2500 bump in the evening. Dry fly fishing has picked up on overcast days with large numbers of bwos on lower A, upper B. There is also still midge fishing to be had as well.  Nymphing is going to be productive on the river with scuds, midges, bwos, and worms. There is still some good streamer fishing to be had as well, Red Creek has been varying the amount of sediment dumped into the river so the lower river has been sporadic in clarity and how it fishes.
