Green River Fly Fishing Report
May 11th, 2026
Green River Flows are dropping to 1,100cfs on May 14th
The fishing is going to improve daily as the water temps go up. The river has been cleansed of moss and debris and the trout are extra fat and healthy right now. The river will go up again one more time to 4,600cfs for 3 days sometime before late June for the Smallmouth Bass Experiment . No one knows when that will occur but the river will still fish great then as the sand and moss are all flushed downstream. We are only given 3 days notice as to when this will occur.
There are cicadas, terrestrials and BWO's out and the fishing is set to be on fire ! We still have some openings - get up here if you can!
