Green River Fishing Reports

Location

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 820 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. The water is at 38 degrees F. Streamer fishing can still be productive. There have been some sightings of BWOs, but not many fish eating up top outside of the back eddies. Try fishing some medium and shallow nymph rigs in the slower runs. Midges are the hatch to focus on for now.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 910 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. Not much change here except for the streamer bite will only get better, so get out your heavier rods (6wt or 7wt) for slinging those big meaty flies.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 960 cfs out of the Flaming Gorge Dam. It is likely that the flow will remain at this level or even lower for the duration of the winter. The fishing is good and getting better. The streamer bite is on, so get ready to throw some big flies. Nymphing should be a good option too. The fish are spawning so we recommend avoiding fishing to redds.

Location

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

The Green is flowing around 1440 cfs during the day, and it is being dropped at night to about 1000 cfs. The fishing is good. Nymphing will be the most productive method, but fish are rising on pseudos in the morning, and eating caddis dries and terrestrials in the afternoon/evening. Streamers are fishing too, try a black marabou bugger. As the colder weather sets in the streamer bite should become more consistent.

Green River Below Flaming Gorge Dam

Overview

 The Green is still holding around 1815cfs. The fishing has slowed down a bit from the crazy good it was early summer. B section is back open after a brief closure from the Richard Mountain fire. In the AM fish PMds and midges. Transition to Terrestrials in the afternoon. The terrestrial bite is picking up a little bit each day, so the bigger flies are working.
