Green River Fly Fishing Report
June 6th, 2025
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.

Short high water event in mid June then returning to a low average flow
A Section: The A Section has been pretty consistent with nymph fishing. The dry fly has been spotty but will definitely ramp up the coming weeks. Dry dropper rigs are also producing.
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
Dry Flies
Hot sunny days with gusts of wind to help knock the terrestrials in the water have been the days. Look for PMD, Caddis and Yellow Sallies all size #14-16 in the near future
Best Patterns
-
Parachute Ant #16-22 black
-
Triple Double #14-18 purple, black
Predicted 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
-
El Sculpito tan
-
Cheech Leech - articulated all colors
-
Complex Twist Bugger - all colors
-
Galloup's Dungeon - articulated all colors
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.
