The Green River is divided into three section that each offer their
own unique experience andd great fly fishing: A, B and C sections. Each
one of these section can be floated in one day and range in length from
7 to 13 miles.
Green River
Fly Fishing - Section A
The first 7 miles below Flaming Gorge dam, the A section, is one
of the West's top trout fisheries, and one of the most popular. The largest population of fish
is found in the A section, and as a result the largest population of fly fishing anglers.
The river winds its way through dramatic Red Canyon here and holds incredible numbers
of fish that flourish in the river's spring creek-like setting. The A section of the
Green is limited to day use only, camping is not allowed.
Green River
Fly Fishing - Section B
The next 9 miles of the Green River, called the B section
is dominated by larger browns and hybrid cutthroat/rainbows. Although there
are fewer numbers of fish, the population is still quite large until Red Creek
enters the river approximately 4 miles below Little Hole. This section eventually
leaves Red Canyon behind and moves into Brown's Park. Camping is plentiful on the B
section in numerous forest service maintained campsites.
Green River Fly Fishing
- Section C
Section C of the
Green River continues for more than 12 miles as it winds its way
through the high desert plateaus of outlaw country. There are
several boat ramps on this section so floats of various lengths
are possible. This section of the Green river sees far less pressure,
but fishing can be much less consistent than on upper sections.
It can range from epic dry fly action for huge wild fish to muddy
unfishable conditions when Red Creek, a flash flood tributary, is running.
We are in constant contact with
