2022 Green River Fly Fishing Reports

January 17th, 2022

The streamer bite on the Green River has been good on all 3 river sections.  Slow retrieves and covering lots of water are key.  The midge hatch has been sparse and the dry fly fishing very spotty.  The midges are thicker on the upper stretches of the river.   Calm days will fish best on the dry flies - if you find fish up stay there as you may not find other risers.  For nymph fishing focus on the middle and tail-outs of runs at about 9 feet deep.    

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 115% of normal.  Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 77% capacity.  We currently have a high pressure overhead keeping storms away.  We need as much moisture as possible -Pray for snow!

Green River Flow Forecast  Steady Low Flows

 

Current Flow Level - 850 cfs

 

Red Creek:  Clear - subject to daily change

 

A Section: The lower half of A has been pretty consistent with streamers.  The Midge hatch begins in the mornings around 10am.  On calm days there are a few pods of fish up on these tiny bugs. The trout are holding in their winter runs, nymph rigs around 9 feet deep have been best.  The strikes are very subtle.

B Section:  Nymph rigs and streamers have been the most effective method on the B Section.  Commit to streamers on lower B.   

C Section:  The action has been good on streamers. Fish dark flies on dark days and tan, ginger or white on bright days.  Dry fly action is little to none.  It is a sin to nymph on the C Section and you will receive years of bad fishing Karma for doing so.  

Hatches: Midges

The streamer bite on the Green River has been solid - especially on "warm" days.  Use sink tips and retriev your offerings slowly.  The midge hatch has also picked up recently, and pods of risers can be found - again best on warmer days.  The midge hatch is best on upper B and and the A section.  For nymph fishing focus on the middle and tail-outs of runs at about 9 feet deep, when you find active fish try staying in that spot.

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 85% of normal.  Fortunately, there are some storms on the horizon.  Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 77% capacity.  We need as much moisture as possible -Pray for snow!

March 10th, 2022

The streamer bite remains strong on the Green River.  Warm days tend to make your fingers and the fish happier.  Sink tips and slow retrieves are recommended.  The midge hatch is still unpredictable and inconsistent.  There have been a few BWO sightings, but nothing to get hyped on yet.  Nymph fishing has been decent - focus on the middle and tail-outs of runs (winter holding water) at about 9 feet deep, when you find active fish try staying in that spot.  The strikes will be subtle so swing on anything.  

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 80% of normal. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 78% capacity. We need as much moisture as possible - Pray for snow!

The BWO hatch has started with solid bugs emerging over the past couple of days.  The penstocks at Flaming Gorge Dam have not been raised yet.  Hopefully they will raise them in the coming days, which would likely raise the river temperature a couple degrees and make the fishing even better.   Dry fly fishing and the hatch are best on cloudy days. Typically the hatch is best from 11am - 4 pm.  The BWO's (Baetis) on the Green River are grey in color and range in size from #16-20 this time of year.  The peak of the BWO hatch is still ahead of us!  

 

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 82% of normal. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 78% capacity. We need as much moisture as possible - Praying for a wet Spring!

Steady Low Flows

A Section: There have been BWO's on all of the A Section lately.  The fish will move into shallow water as the bugs emerge.  In the mornings they are usually found in water 6-10 feet deep. 

B Section:  BWO's are solid on B.  Nymph rigs at 9 feet deep are very effective and the fish are podded up. Streamers a re still producing on lower B.  

C Section:  The BWO's are limited on the C Section, but the trout will definitely move for them.  The upper river sees many more bugs and better action this time of year.  Streamers are hit or miss.  The murky water makes it easier to sneak on the fish.

Hatches: Blue Wing Olives, Midges

May 3rd, 2022

FLOWS ARE GOING UP TO 1800CFS AVERAGE - THE DAILY FLOW SCHEDULE IS BELOW

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO CROSS THE RIVER AS YOU WILL LIKELY NOT BE ABLE TO CROSS BACK OVER.  PLEASE BE CAREFUL WADING !

 

The BWO (Baetis) hatch is still going strong!  The fishing in the mornings has been slow with some fish eating midges or spinners, but the majority of fish seem to be waiting for the Baetis hatch to fill their bellies.  The BWO emergence has been starting anytime between 11am and 2pm.  The fish are very happy for about 2 hours, and then the fishing tends to slow back down.  Most BWO's are size #18

 

We have seen a cicada on the water, but they are not out yet, we will possibly see them as soon as the weather gets hot for a couple days.  

 

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 82% of normal. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 78% capacity, but will be dropped an additional 15 feet this year to help Lake Powell.   We need as much moisture as possible - Praying for a wet Spring!

FLOWS ARE GOING UP TO 8,600CFS  

 

You cannot float under Taylor Flat Bridge!  Also Red Creek Rapid - river left, has a huge suck hole that will sink drift boats or trap rafts that get pulled in.  Stay middle / right at the head of this rapid.  There are trees on the edges of the river that are in several feet of swift water and pose threats to boats as well.  The Little Hole Trail is under water in many spots as well.

 

These high flows will do wonders for the fish quality, and clear out most of the unwanted moss.  They will expose sandy areas again and substantially help the aquatic insects.  If you are headed out to fish in the coming days use bright colored worms and small grey scuds.  The river will be fishable from Saturday on.  It will be a mossy / pine needle mess Wednesday to Friday.  The flow schedule is below.  

 

There are some cicadas out as well. Some years the fish will still eat the big dry at these flows.  Here is some more High Water Info and a High Water Video.  

Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 82% of normal. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 78% capacity, but will be dropped an additional 15 feet this year to help Lake Powell.   We need as much moisture as possible - Praying for a wet Spring!

Fluctuating Flows

A Section: There have been some cicadas on the A Section.  The dry fly fishing was solid before the high water releases. Look for good dry fly fishing at flows of  4,600cfs and below.  

B Section:  It should start to be fishable from Saturday on.  It usually takes awhile to clear up below Red Creek Rapid during these high flows.   Should fish good at flows of 4,600cfs or lower

C Section:  The C Section was really good before the run off.  It will be unfishable for a bit as all of the moss and debris upstream accumulates on down on C.  

Hatches: Terrestrials, Blue Wing Olives

FLOWS ARE GOING UP TO 4510 CFS AVERAGE ON JUNE 21st - THE DAILY FLOW SCHEDULE IS BELOW

 

Cicadas small and big, and Mormon Crickets are thick on the river.  The fishing has been really good!  The higher flows will cool down the water temp, but the fish are keyed into big terrestrials and will still search for them in the higher flows.  Yellow Sally Stoneflies, Caddis and PMD's will likely start soon after the high water comes down.  

The flows are currently at 850 cfs in the day and rise to about 2,000 cfs in the evening for a few hours for power generation.  The flows are going up on June 21st to hurt the Smallmouth Bass spawn downstream.  The Smallmouth eat a lot of the Endangered Species fry.  This will be a yearly occurrence of higher higher flows mid - to late June as they coincide this release with the emergence of Smallmouth Bass fry.  So in the future we will see 2 high water events yearly - one to benefit the Endangered Species, and the other to hurt the Bass.

The fishing is still solid out on the Green River.  There are still big Cicadas and some Mormon Crickets in spots on the A and B Sections.  PMD' s and Yellow Sallies are hit or miss and both of those hatches are waning.  Caddis flies are thick on the A Section in sizes #14-18 tan and grey.  The caddis are light on the B and C Sections.  Many of the local guides are starting to nymph fish or throw dry dropper rigs.  The dry fly is still really good if you stick with it. 

Hopefully these higher flows keep our water cooler and trigger more aquatic insect activity.

Terrestrial patterns such as ants, beetles, and crickets have been solid producers.  There are some Trico's down on the C Section and they will likely move up to the B and A Sections soon.  There are also still a few PMD's  on cloudy days and Caddis around.  Mormon Crickets are still on the river in a few spots, and hoppers are around in decent numbers.  The flows are in the ideal range, allowing the banks and back eddies to move nicely!  Red Creek has blown out twice in the past 10 days, but is clear as of today.

September 5th, 2022

2022 has been an amazing fishing year - one of the best producing seasons that I have seen in my 24 years on the Green River.  The fish are tired of getting caught and are currently being cautious.  Many fish are spooking 50 feet from the boat.  Anglers that can fish a small dry fly accurately at about 40 feet are doing really well.  If you can consistently cast the fly 2 inches from the bank you will get some really nice fish!  Less skilled anglers will work for their chances and need to take advantage of the opportunities.  The Tricos and midges are thick and will bring up a lot of fish in slow water - bring your A game on these educated fish. The higher flows are keeping the fish healthy.

The fishing has been tough for the past few weeks - It currently is about a 3 out of 10.  If you are headed out, remember to focus on the solitude and scenery as the catching will likely be slow.   The river traffic is mild, leaves are changing and the weather has been beautiful.  Many fish are spooking 50+ feet from the boat.  Skilled anglers will do fairly well out there, but it is tough for less skilled anglers.  The flows are projected to remain up all winter, with double peak flows beginning in November. The brown trout will start getting into their pre spawn mode soon - hopefully the streamer fishing will follow suit. 

Green River flows are currently fluctuating from 880 to 2040 cfs daily.

The Brown Trout have started to spawn on the Green River - Please avoid standing on the Redds!! 

The fishing has been solid with streamers. Slow retrieves and keeping the streamers deep have been the key to success.  There are also some fish up on small BWO's - size #20-24 on calm days.  Dry dropper has also been effective between the pools when covering water and looking for rising pods of fish.  Flows are averaging 1,700 cfs and fluctuating daily.
