Green River Fishing Report

September 2, 2010.

Flows are currently at 1700cfs, dropping down to daily lows of about 1400 cfs, and daily highs about 2200 cfs.

We're at the tail end of summer now, and dry fly fishing is great. Terrestials are a good bet now. Nymphing is always good with small baetis imitations; WD40s, RS2s, PT and midges.

As we head into fall, expect to see some good dry fly action on calm days with baetis imitations, mostly small para Adams, Griffith's Gnats and Thorax Blue Duns. Big attractors are working well, as are streamers.

FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AHEAD- RATED 6.0

This week's "Hot Six Flies":

The flies mentioned below suggest the available trout food and their imitations. Each week I will list the top six flies that were productive from the week before. The danger here is that things change from week to week, so while trends in fly selection can be consistent, keep in mind they do also change with current fishing conditions.

  • Tungsten Zebra Midges 16-22 black, red, gray, brown
  • Para Adams 20-24
  • Griffith's Gnat, 22, tie with florescent post for visibility
  • RS2's and WD 40's grey, olive or wine #18-24 as droppers
  • Streamers #2-6 Buggers in tan, black, olive, Goldilox Buggers, Double Bunnies, etc.
  • Large attractors, such as #12 Rio Grande Trudes and parachute crickets, beetles and hoppers. Sailor ants are also working well.
