Read the latest Green River fishing reports here. Our Green River fishing reports are a comprehensive overview of the latest fly fishing conditions. We include flows, general rating of the fishing, the current hatches that we have encountered, the best techniques that are producing and the most productive times of day.
The most recent Green River report is at the top with older reports in chronological order. This lets you see how the fishing has been in previous weeks and months. If you don’t see what you are looking for and want the most current information on conditions and what is happening on the Green, give us a call at the shop 1-435-658-1166 or contact us here.

Current Conditions Summary The Green is still at base flows. Decent dry fly and nymphing activity on most days. Streams still producing in low light/cloudy days. Flow & Water Discharge: ~850 CFS (Steady releases). Clarity: Crystal clear (Section A is gin-clear; B & C may have slight tint if Red Creek is flowing, but generally clear). Water Temp: ~45°F. Outlook: Flows will likely remain steady at this level. Until the Spring Peak LTSP release later this spring Weather & Timing Best Window: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Weather: Highs in the high-60s, lows dipping into the low-30s. Strategy: The deep canyon walls keep the water shaded early and late. Focus your efforts on the sunlit hours when the water warms slightly, triggering midge and blue wing activity. Hatches & Bug Activity Midges: clouds of tiny midges (#22-26) are active in the slicks and eddies most mornings. Blue-Winged Olives (BWOs): The main hatch occurring currently. Scuds/Sow Bugs: A constant food source in the moss beds, especially in Section A. Recommended Flies Nymphs (Sub-surface) Scuds: #14-18 (Olive, Grey, Tan) . Midges: #20-24 (Zebra Midge, bling midge, WD-40s in Black, Red, Grey). BWOs: #18-22 (Pheasant tails, Two Bits, RS2s, Stalcup Baetis) Dries (Surface) Midge Dry: #20-24 (Griffith’s Gnat, Matt’s Midge, Sprout Midge). BWO Dry: #18-22 (CDC Dun, Parachute Adams, Cripples, Film Critic). Para Cricket: For dry dropper uses that may still see action Streamers Articulated Patterns: (Goldie, Dungeon, Circus Peanut) Woolly Buggers: #6-10 (Black, Olive, gold)

Current Conditions Summary The Green is still at base flows. Streamer fishing is starting to slow down a bit. Nymphing and Dry fly fishing is starting to pick up. Flow & Water Discharge: ~850 CFS (Steady releases). Clarity: Crystal clear (Section A is gin-clear; B & C may have slight tint if Red Creek is flowing, but generally clear). Water Temp: ~40°F. Outlook: Flows will likely remain steady at this winter base level. Weather & Timing Best Window: 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM. Weather: Highs in the high-40s, lows dipping into the low-30s.

Current Conditions Summary The Green is still at base flows. The primary game right now is streamer fishing throughout the day with some hunting for heads sipping midges/BWOs in the afternoons. Spawning is pretty much over. But still be mindful of stepping on Redds. Flow & Water Discharge: ~850 CFS (Steady releases). Clarity: Crystal clear (Section A is gin-clear; B & C may have slight tint if Red Creek is flowing, but generally clear). Water Temp: ~42°F. Outlook: Flows will likely remain steady at this winter base level. Be on the look out for when winter power generations start. Weather & Timing Best Window: 10:30 AM – 3:30 PM.

Current Conditions Summary The Green is still at base flows. The primary game right now is streamer fishing throughout the day with some hunting for heads sipping midges/BWOs in the afternoons. Brown Trout are in the tail end spawning mode, meaning some large fish are aggressive, but extreme care is needed to avoid stepping on redds (spawning beds). Flow & Water Discharge: ~850 CFS (Steady releases). Clarity: Crystal clear (Section A is gin-clear; B & C may have slight tint if Red Creek is flowing, but generally clear). Water Temp: ~42°F.
