Green River

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.
