Location
Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam
Overview
The Green is still fishing very well with large caddis hatches happening on the lower river and good nymphing on the upper. It has slowed down a bit since the flows dropped a couple weeks ago but there are still huge fishing being caught. The fish are selective but will eat a well presented fly. The river is running clear now all the way to the Colorado border. Large thunderstorms have caused Red Creek to blow out once this summer, making fishing on the end of the B section and C section extremely difficult. However, if you can time it correctly the fishing will be very good. It is also that time of year to start fishing terrestrials and attractor flies on the Green. This can be some of the most exciting fishing in Utah. There aren’t many things cooler in the world than watching a monster trout suck down your big foam fly in gin-clear water. This is a great year to head to the green as the fish are strong and healthy after the spring runoff. The flows are projected to remain at 2,400 cfs through September 30th. Give us a call at the shop to book your Green River float trip for the end of this summer or fall. We have availability and the fishing should be excellent through October!
