Green River Fly Fishing Report

July 7th, 2025

Happy 249th Birthday America ! 

 

The hatches on the Green River are in full swing.  PMD's, Caddis, and Yellow Sally Stoneflies size #14-16 are the soup du jour.  The hatches tend to really get going around 10am.  There are also terrestrials hitting the water - ants beetles, crickets, grasshoppers and Mondo Cicadas.  

Dry dropper rigs will also produce out there as will nymph rigs set with size #14-16 offerings.  

The flows on the Green River are currently averaging 1,400cfs during the day and fluctuating between 920cfs and 2,6200 cfs daily.  Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 86% capacity.  

1400 CFS average

ideal flow levels for the rest of the Summer

A Section: The hatches are solid. Caddis in the mornings or evenings

B Section:  Good hatches in the mornings Small terrestrials or dry dropper rigs are effective.  

C Section:  Flows go up in the afternoon and the fishing resets

Hatches:   

- Mayflies: PMD's size #14-16

- Stoneflies: Yelow Sallies size #14-16

- Caddis: Tan and Grey size #14-18

- Terrestrials - crickets, ants, beetles, cicadas #4

 

Dry Flies

Hot sunny days with gusts of wind to help knock the terrestrials in the water have been the days.  Look for the best PMD hatches on wet or cloudy days

 

Best Patterns 

Streamers

While not as consistent as nymph fishing, streamer patterns can be successful, especially in the shadows of early morning or late afternoon. Try olive or black patterns, mimicking sculpin or smaller baitfish.

As a general rule: Dark day, dark fly. Bright day, bright fly.

Retrieval speed - slow​.

0-2x tippet

Best Patterns

 

Nymphs

Double nymph rigs with a heavy PMD or Caddis pattern and a lighter pattern as the second fly. Attractor patterns will also help get your offerings noticed - especially when the flow go up.  With the water temps up, the fish have spread out of the deep runs, but they are still podded up.

Use 5x tippet
