2025 Green River Fly Fishing Reports
Scroll Down for most current report
January 27th, 2025
The flows on the Green River are currently averaging 1,200cfs and fluctuating between 940cfs and 1,910 cfs daily. Please be careful when wade fishing! Every 1,000 cfs is about a foot in river depth change. The streamer action on the Green River has been pretty good on all 3 river sections. Retrieve your streamers slowly and cover lots of water to get the most action. When the high pressure sets in the fishing tends to be best. Warm, calm days will provide the best shots for dry fly action - if you find trout rising stay there, as you may not find other fish looking up. For nymph fishing, focus on the middle and tail-outs of runs at about 9 feet deep. For Nymphing use a small streamer or an orange scud with a tiny midge above.
Current snow pack for the Green River is at about 78% of normal in the upper Green River Drainage and 97% of normal in the lower valley. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 85% capacity.

Fluctuating Flows
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 pods of trout up on these tiny bugs. The fish are holding in their winter runs, nymph rigs around 9 feet deep have been best. The strikes are very subtle, so swing on any movement.
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 decent on streamers. Fish dark flies on dark days and tan, ginger or white on bright days. Dry fly action is little to none.

April 8th, 2025
The fishing has been very consistent with solid numbers of fish being caught. There is a steady stream of insect activity. BWO (Blue-Winged Olive) mayflies are prominent, especially during late mornings and early afternoons on overcast days. Midges remain a reliable go-to, especially during the cooler morning hours. Caddis are starting to show up sporadically, making them another enticing option during warmer portions of the day..
The flows on the Green River are now averaging 1,250cfs and fluctuating between 920cfs and 2,350 cfs daily. Current snow-pack for the Green River is at about 107% of normal in the upper Green River Drainage and 106% of normal in the lower valley. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 85% capacity. Hopefully we get a few big storms to get the snow-pack to around 150% of normal for better flows this summer.

Fluctuating Low Flows
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 pods of trout up on these tiny bugs. The fish are holding in their winter runs, nymph rigs around 9 feet deep have been best. The strikes are very subtle, so swing on any movement.
B Section: There have been a few caddis around 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 decent on streamers. Fish dark flies on dark days and tan, ginger or white on bright days. Dry fly action is little to none.
Hatches:
- Mayflies: (BWO's) Size 18-22
- Midges: Size 20-24
- Caddis: Size 16-18 - limited numbers / sporadic on the lower river
Dry Flies
Calm, cloudy, or wet days will fish the best for the dry fly. When the sun is out the fish tend to be much more shy on the dry. Higher flows and warmer water temperatures would definitively help bring more fish to the surface. Midges in the mornings and BWO's in the early afternoon.

Green River Flows are going up at 1am on May 15th.
The flows will reach 4,600 cfs on May 16th. You cannot go under Taylor Flat Bridge at these high flows. The flow will then drop to 1,100 cfs average starting May 17th on until further notice. This looks to be the shortest duration of high water that we have ever seen on the Green River. The BOR will likely raise flows again in June for a handful of days. We will do our best to keep everyone informed on these change and updates. The Flow schedule is below
The fishing has been great - the river is in transition mode from BWO's to terrestrials. Ants, Cicadas, hoppers, crickets are all catching fish on hot days. BWO's are fishing great on cold, cloudy and wet days.
The flows on the Green River are now averaging 1,250cfs and fluctuating between 920cfs and 2,350 cfs daily. Current snow-pack for the Green River is at about 87% of normal in the Upper Green River Basin. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 87% capacity.

The fish are holding in their winter runs, nymph rigs around 9 feet deep have been best. The fish are starting to eat terrestrils on hot days.
B Section: The dry fly fishing has been good - fish can be very selective and spooky out there.
C Section: The dry fly fishing has been a bit inconsistent. Some days are great - then next day tough.
Hatches:
- Mayflies: (BWO's) Size 18-22
- Midges: Size 20-24
- Terrestrials - crickets, ants, beetles, cicadas
Dry Flies
Calm, cloudy, or wet days will fish the best for the BWO dry fly. When the sun is out the fish tend to be much more shy on the BWO dry. Sunny days are best for the terrestrial bugs. Solid BWO Spinner Falls in the mornings.

Green River Flows are going up June 16th - see below
As we dive into June, the Green River is set up for an epic summer. The flows are solid considering we had only average snowpack. The flows will reach 4,600 cfs on June 16th. You cannot go under Taylor Flat Bridge at these high flows. The flow will then drop to an average flow starting June 20th on until further notice. This will be the final high water event of 2025.
The fishing has been solid - there are some cicadas out and the persistent angler will have a productive day with dry flies. Most anglers are nymph fishing to pad their numbers. The river is gearing up for the PMD, Yellow Sally and Caddis hatches - nymphs mimicking these bugs in size #14-16 are very productive. Dry dropper rigs have also been great out there. Ants, Cicadas, hoppers, crickets are all catching fish on hot days.
The flows on the Green River are currently averaging 1,200cfs and fluctuating between 890cfs and 2,440 cfs daily. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 87% capacity.

B Section: Small terrestrials, dry dropper rigs are fishing best..
C Section: The dry fly fishing has been a bit inconsistent. Some days are great - then next day tough.
Hatches: There is currently not many hatches - the bugs should make an appearance fairly soon.
- Mayflies: PMD's size #14-16
- Stoneflies: Yelow Sallies size #14-16
- Caddis: Tan and Grey size #14-18
- Terrestrials - crickets, ants, beetles, cicadas

It's Terrestrial Time on the Green River
The major summer hatches on the Green River have ended. There are still a few PMD's, Caddis, and Yellow Sally Stoneflies size #16 around but they are in very slim numbers. Ants, beetles, crickets, & grasshoppers are all productive. Dry dropper rigs are fishing well and there are lots of guides out there nymph fishing too.
The fish are in great shape and fighting hard.
The Green River flows are ideal for float fishing and are currently averaging 1,700cfs during the day and fluctuating between 900cfs and 2,640 cfs daily. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 85% capacity.

Fall Fishing
The leaves are starting to change and it is beautiful out on the Green River! The air temperatures have been really nice, river traffic mild. The catching has been a bit tougher than normal lately. There are lots of tiny bugs hatching, size #20-28, and a majority of the fish are keyed into them. Tiny nymphs are producing. The terrestrial bite has been good, but requires persistence. Terrestrial patterns are fishing better later in the day as it warms up out there. Ants, beetles, crickets, & grasshoppers are all productive.
There are lots of 3-4 inch fish out there so small streamers will bring action as well.
The fish are in great shape and fighting hard.
The Green River flows are ideal for float fishing and are currently averaging 1,625cfs during the day and fluctuating between 890cfs and 2,660 cfs daily. Flaming Gorge Reservoir is at about 84% capacity.

The flows on the Green River have dropped down to base level and are running at 800cfs all day. The leaves are beautiful on out on the Green River, air temperatures are really nice, river traffic mild. The fish are a bit skittish in the low water - long casts will produce more fish. There are lots of tiny bugs hatching, size #20-28, and a majority of the fish are keyed into them. Tiny nymphs are producing. The terrestrial bite has been good, but requires persistence.
