The Upper Green River Fishing Report as of today seems as though we may have maxed out on flows given the snowpack and temperatures. The next week will sure tell us a lot more once this upcoming cold snap rolls through. Having such high flows typically scour the silt outta the river bed and makes room for more aquatic life! As of now, we’re planning on getting out around the middle of June for our Upper Green River guided fishing trips. To book your trip please give us a call @ 307-413-0669 or email; [email protected].

Flows at Warren Bridge; 720 CFS

The Upper Green River Pinedale Wyoming Fishing Report as of today has peaked and dropped twice over the past few weeks. The fishing has been solid when water clarity of a foot or more can be found. Horse creek is pumping a ton of mud into the system, so it is a good idea to focus efforts fishing upstream.  Shorter nymph rigs have been producing with flashy bead heads, rubber legs and worm patterns.  Target softer water, undercut banks, submerged structure, and especially the deeper seams and eddy lines.  Fishing the same water with moderate to large articulated streamers has been successful as well with respect to both size and numbers. Vary your retrieve and switch up your colors until you find what is working. Persistence will pay off!

The snowpack for the Upper Green River drainage is sitting at 99% of a 30 year average, which should play out for another fantastic fishing season. The fish are in excellent shape and with great water now for 4 years in a row the average sizes should be about as prolific as they can get! to book your trip or to get the latest please call 307-413-0669 or email; [email protected]

The Upper Green River Wyoming Fishing Report near Pinedale Wyoming is Tricos and Hoppers for the main course of dry flies with your smattering of bwos, pmds and caddis. On the hotter brighter days the hopper has been quite productive and when the bite starts to wane, put a dropper on to keep the bite rolling. The water temps have been on the rise again, but with the current forecasted temps and clouds starting to appear again, which are going to be a huge welcome! As the water flows continue to drop, the fish will start to school up in the pools, so it’s imperative to be as sneaky as humanly possible. The streamer bite has been quite productive as well and will only get better as fall approaches. Keep in mind to pick your sinking line sink rate accordingly for best results when throwing a streamer. Another favorable result of the lower water temps has resulted in lower moss and algae rates throughout the entire drainage, which is so nice not having to clean your fly off after every drift!

                     Dandy of a Brown

On many of our days on the water lately we haven’t seen a single person out, which is AMAZING to experience. Give us a call to book your fall fishing adventure and we’ll look forward to head hunting and stripping streamers for some BIG FISH!!! Just imagine yourself on the water without the crowds, golden leaves, cool temps and the prospect of a trophy trout.

 

To book your fall trip please email; [email protected] or call/text; 307-413-0669. Fish on and have a good one!

The Upper Green River Fishing Report is she’s holding steady, thankfully! Sorry for the hiatus from reporting on fishing conditions but we’ve ALL been working as hard as humanly possible since mid June sharing the goods with all of our clients. I’d say the hatches this season, so far, have been as prolific as it can get, thanks in part to the steady and consistent flows and cool water temps. We’ve had so many afternoon and evening thunderstorms the past few weeks I’m encouraged that the August fishing will remain consistent. That being said, on the bright sunny days get out early for the best opportunity and on the cloudy and cool days we’ve seen the dry fly bite last through the better part of the day and the evenings have been epic. The bite is still PMDs, BWOs, Caddis, Yellow Sallies, Mahoganies, Tricos and add the terrestrial entourage on the hot and sunny days! Add a dropper to the hopper as well come mid afternoon to keep the bite rolling. For those who can pick pockets the streamer bite has been highly productive as well.

We’re anticipating an epic fall experience and have some select days still available and they’re going fast, so to book your slot; please call 307-413-0669 or email; [email protected]. Tight Lines!

The Upper Green River Pinedale Wyoming Fishing Report today is the bugs are really starting to pop and as the flows continue to stabilize, the fish are populating their typical habitats. The past few days have seen the afternoon temps rise so get out early! We’re seeing fish chow pmds, drakes and goldens! On the cooler mornings a dropper might get the bite going and as the bugs pop get you dry fly action on. During the afternoon sun when the temps are highest get your streamer in the game to keep the bite alive.

The Upper Green River Fishing Report for the Pinedale Wyoming area is there’s a lot of snow still up high so it looks like we’ll have good water throughout the entire season, HOPEFULLY! We hiked up into the mountains to see for ourselves and we found that there’s a significant amount of snow above 10,000.

               Wind River Range

Thus far the fishing has been challenging dealing with the varying conditions but for those willing to be flexible, the yields have been well worth the time and effort! Check out this monster brown below, this amazing fish is why we all love to fish the Green River in Wyoming.

                   Monster Brown

As the water temps start to warm up were seeing more and more bugs every day and the fish should start looking up any day now. The overall cycle for the river seems to be several weeks delayed since we’ve had such cold weather. But, the past few days the afternoon temps are getting into the low 80’s so the flows are on the increase once again.

Upper Green River Basin Wyoming Water Storage

1.8.2019

The Upper Green River Basin Water Storage is sitting at 51% currently in the Fontenelle Reservoir. For those of you who don’t know, Fontenelle is the first dam on the Green River. The Green River above Fontenelle is a freestone for approximately 175 river miles. The New Fork River has a small dam that regulates the flow out of the New Fork Lakes as does the Boulder Lake dam which regulates Boulder Creek and the Fremont Lake regulates Pine Creek, which are all tributaries of the Green River. We’re currently booking for the 2019 season so please give us a shout to get your trip booked or just to catch up on the latest and greatest. 307-413-0669 or [email protected].

Todays Upper Green River Fishing Report leaves me blown away at how drastic the changes have been recently. Last week at this time it was snowing and blowing and today there’s not a cloud in the sky and the high temp is gonna be 80. For the folks who follow these reports it’s obvious i like to use data and charts to illustrate what’s happening on the rivers. When you look at the chart at the top you can see just how high the flows we’re up until now. The flows were 2-3 times the 30 year average which means the month of July looks to be great and after that we’ll just have to see. But the good news is that most of this water gets captured at the Fontenelle Dam, which is the first dam on the Green River and is an amazing tailwater fishery!

Meanwhile we saw some off color water yesterday from a few rogue storms that dumped their load on the Wind River Mountains where the Upper Green River is born. It’s important to remember that there is no dam on the upper reaches so we’re at the mercy of mother nature.

There have been some stones, mayflies and caddis dancing around and it seems as though the trout will start looking up soon for the surface bite. We have guides out all over now so please give us a holler @ 307-413-0669 for the latest report and/or to book your trip or email; [email protected].

The time has come for another fantastic season on the Upper Green River! Be safe out there!

Our Upper Green River Fishing Report today is we’ve started to guide on the Upper Green River just the past several days now that the flows have slowed down. What comes up must go down, at some point! The flows have been 2 to 3 times the 30 year average so as you can see the charts below, it’s really tricky predicting what, when, why and how since there is not a dam on the Upper Green River. Not having a dam has positives and negatives, but there sure are more positives than negatives, thankfully. The water is still very cold, so nymphing a turd and a worm under an indicator between 8-9ft has been producing the best and most consistent results. There’s caddis out in the late afternoon and into the evening and the fish haven’t keyed into them just yet. We’re looking forward to seeing the golden stones and drakes in the next few weeks.

SO, we’ll see what happens this week as the sun breaks out and the temps get near 80 several times this week.

The Upper Green River Fishing Report is still an update at this point, although it won’t be too much longer for prime time fishing. The only concern at this point is how or when the high elevation snow breaks free when the temps being to increase again over the holiday weekend. We have trips out in the region so we’ll see how this plays out. Looking at the two graphs below you can see how high the flows have been which is dictating when we’ll be getting on the river to start guiding. I’m of the mind that barring any crazy weather events we’re gonna start guiding on the upper reaches of the Green River within the next 10 days.

Check out the charts below which help illustrate what i’m trying to articulate. We’re still planning to guide on the Upper stretches near the Green River Lakes thanks to our relationship with Black Diamond Outfitting in early June and will start to move down once the runoff subsides.

FINALLY, we have a positive and productive Upper Green River Fishing Report to share!  The Grey Drakes are in full force as are the pmds, sallies, goldens and caddis as well. As the weeks temps get warmer getting out earlier on the water will afford you a better and more realistic opportunity of catching the hatch. The fish are just starting to inhabit the banks, sticking in tight to the pockets. Look for the fish to be feeding in the slower seams, side channels and eddys. On the brighter days be careful of the shadows from your rod and lines spooking the trout and turning them off the feed. False casting too many times is yet another way to spooking the trout as well. During the hot afternoons dont hesitate to put on a dropper to keep the action going.

The water supply is really looking good for the remainder of the season on the Upper Green River and we’re booking clear into October!

Our most current Upper Green River Fishing Report is now becoming a true fishing report. It is a true miracle that we’re even discussing the possibility of fishing considering the huge amount of snowpack that was up in the mountains from the winter. It is VERY IMPORTANT to consider that this water shed has no dam until mile 170 so what we get, ALL depends on the natural elements.

Streamer Bite

Yesterday, we floated up in the forest, towards the headwaters and although the water is still running quite fast, we were able to find some fish that were willing to eat either a streamer, nymph or a dry fly. We saw several golden stones and a ton of caddis and the surface water is still chilly; hovering around 50 at mid day. You can see the 3 separate surges on the graph below that melted a ton of snow over the spring, which is the only reason why we’re headed into the summer fishing season this week. Make no mistake, the water is still running swiftly and it’s gonna take more time for it to settle down, but there’s opportunity for some good and challenging angling opportunities to be had.

Upper Green River Wyoming Fishing Guides

Third time is a charm

After spending the winter in Texas it is so nice to be back in Wyoming. ESPECIALLY with the copious amount of water. The Upper Green River Valley is a very special place and yesterday I caught myself  just sitting in the back of the boat, listening to the water run past and feeling like I’ve died and gone to heaven. Speaking of, The Upper Green River is heaven on earth! Look for Golden Stones to make their appearance soon, which we’re all super excited about seeing!

Currently the Upper Green River Fishing Report is HUGE WATER on most of the area rivers, creeks and streams. The best news is we have several lakes, rivers and creeks to float and/or wade on and are fishing well and are great options when you’re ready to get out and fish. Other good news is typically after a huge runoffs the hatches can be enormously prolific once the waters calm down.

We’re trying to start adding in a video report and here’s my first attempt.

  •  Areal Flood Watch
    Areal Flood Watch in effect until Wednesday, 6:00 AM MDT. Source: U.S. National Weather Service

…FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT…

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northwest Wyoming and west central Wyoming,
including the following areas, in northwest Wyoming, Absaroka
Mountains and Jackson Hole. In west central Wyoming, Upper
Green River Basin and Upper Green River Basin Foothills.

* Through late Tuesday night

* Accelerated snowmelt runoff due to warm afternoon mountain
temperatures will continue through Tuesday. Expect continued
sharp increases in creek and river levels Monday morning
through Tuesday afternoon.

* Along the Green River Basin: Flooding of low lying areas is
expected on smaller creeks to include LaBarge Creek, Horse
Creek, and Cottonwood Creek. Minor flooding is also expected
along the Green River from Warren Bridge to LaBarge Monday
morning through Tuesday evening. The Green River at LaBarge is
expected to rise to near 9.2 feet (13,000 cfs) by Monday afternoon.
Flood stage is 9.0 feet. The river will continue to rise
through Tuesday night.

Currently our best guess is that we’ll be guiding on the Green below the Forest and New Forks Rivers around late June. Please give us a call @ 307-413-0669 or email [email protected] to get your trip booked or to get the latest and greatest information. Take care and tight lines!

Upper Green River Fishing Report: This will serve more as a water flow update than a fishing report. Currently, the flows have subsided once again with the cold snap thats forecasted through tomorrow. After Monday, look for the flows to increase once more and we will see exactly how high they will get. One of the outfitters we work with on our pack trips is going to attempt to get up into the high country in a week or so, and we’ll have a much better idea when that happens.

Our plan, based on the most current science, logic and personal observation will be to guide on Soda Lake until more options become available. We’re thinking that we’ll start to guide on the upper sections of the Green River come late June and depending on the flows, being out on the upper New Fork as well. Once the water settles down we’re looking forward to another great season!

SERIOUS SNOWPACK
      Credit Destin Peters Facebook

The snowpack that supplies water for  the Upper Green River in Wyoming is currently at 170% of a 30 year average. WOW! What does this mean? Well, at this point it’s anybody’s guess. The information below in the various graphs are the most reliable and scientific information available that i’m aware of.

Wyoming Snow pack 2/7/2017

Looking at the graph below the peak runoff will occur somewhere between mid to late June. BUT, one must remember we have a LONG WAY to go! With that being said, having a big runoff is very beneficial to the river and ecosystem, which we’re very excited about!

The Snowpack, thus far, is looking great in Wyoming, especially in the Upper Green River watershed. Currently it’s sitting at 160% of a 30 year average. What’s really important to know is we still have a way to go before the fishing season begins, but we’re off to a great start. Let’s hope it continues to stay cool and snow!

Nice Brown!

Green River Fishing Report for Pinedale, Wyoming; Like many other outdoor industries that are at the mercy of Mother Nature, the fishing industry in Western Wyoming has not had much of a break so far. We’ve seen a dramatic influxes of temperatures, fluctuating water levels and high winds that have been trying us for some time now.  All that being said; the bite has been amazing in the Green River drainage since runoff subsided.We’re seeing grey and green drakes, pmds, caddis, yellow sallies and even blue wings too over the past few days.

We are beginning to see the long term results of high temperatures that hit in the early Spring that caused an excess of the snow pack that feeds the Green River tributaries to melt earlier than anticipated.  With water levels running only at 20% of the seasonal average, we will continue to be fishing/guiding  the Upper Green River until the end of the month.  With any luck, summer storms coming through the area will provide for water levels to rise and sustain quality fishing into August and into the fall.  A cold front that has lingered from the weekend has pushed back early morning start times to mid morning when the fish begin to feed.  Cold water temps have proved that a nymph dropper from a large foam pattern is the way to go to entice hungry trout from their resting places until the dry fly bite starts. Even with water levels dropping, the lower part of the river is controlled by the Fontenelle Dam, allowing our clients to successfully fish the waters of the Green River well into the end of our fishing season.  The bite there has been amazing and we foresee that trend to continue.

To book your trip please call us @ 307-739-7020. Tight lines and happy days!

The Upper Green River Fishing Report  today is the flows are coming down, the clarity is slowly improving and we’re seeing some good action on streamers, nymphs and a few dries. We’ll see if the hot temps forecasted this week melts some of the higher elevation snows, which might color up the water once again. The past few days have been improving for yields and quantity.

GOTTA GO TO KNOW!

We had a guided trip out on 5/19 and they had the day we all dream about. Gary was in meetings until mid day, then on the Green River until dark. Here’s his response to his day, when asked:

“It was amazing! I want to send major kudos to Drake for the incredible experience. Both the largest rainbow and brown I’ve ever landed, and the most fish over 16″ I’ve caught in a day.  It was a great day!!”

On Friday we had a training run out and the guides had some great luck with some large fish. Not too many in the net, but those who made it in, were dandys. As soon as they were getting off another spring storm rolled in.

Gotta go to know………The Green River has been fluctuating like crazy the past several weeks due to the extreme temperature swings. Today the flows are pretty darn close to the 30 year average, which will make for an interesting week. Keep in mind this is runoff season so take that with several grains of salt. The water has a slight tinge to it and we expect it to get darker as the temps warm up this week. The bite has been best from mid to late afternoon on a double nymph rig and we refer to the rig as a turd and a worm. Keep your setup short as the fish are close to the banks and in pockets out of the highest flows. The streamer bite has been good too with a sink tip and natural colors have been the ticket. We’re not seeing double digit numbers but seeing a few decent fish on each outing.

The Upper Green River over the past few days has seen a wild swing of weather. Last Thursday, May 5th, it was wet wade warm and then less than 24 hours later it rained around 3 inches, then Saturday we had full on blizzard conditions. The, last night it rained again. Ah, spring time in the Rockies. So, the river is high and off color and will more than likely be so for awhile. BUT, with these extreme weather swings, who knows! Please contact us to get the daily update on conditions. The current snowpack is sitting at 77%, which should bring good flows through the summer.

Our current plans are to guide on the Upper Green River, from the Green River Lakes down to where the first tributary, the Roaring Fork, comes into the Upper Green River. Our Upper Green River trips are through Black Diamond Outfitters. The Upper Green River is truly God’s country and we’re super excited about getting our valued clients out on the water this season. You ALWAYS have the opportunity to catch the fish of your lifetime in this area. As the snow melts and the middle reaches settle down and clear, we will progressively move our guiding operation downstream. The streamflow prediction is below.

Depending on the day, time and temperatures we’ve seen any and all of the aforementioned. Heck, we even had blue winged olives last Wednesday when it was cool and rainy. On the warmer afternoons putting a dropper on can keep the action going. Look for the waters to fluctuate if the storm predicted for later today through Friday comes to fruition.

What a crazy week of weather last week on the Green River! Best news: we all survived! Speaking of the weather, the water has cooled off significantly which will give the fish a huge break! The hatches have stalled somewhat due to the extreme temps and flow swings, but seem to be coming back. On Saturday the fish were keyed in on the caddis and yellow sallies most of the day. Today, Sunday, the lower reaches fished well and the upper was tough due to the winds. Look for the conditions to improve each day

Thank God for the cloud cover and rain today that was really needed on the Upper Green River! Let’s hope and pray it continues. The name of the game for the past 2 weeks has been early bird but with the cloud cover the action should start to elongate through the better part of the day. The drakes are still the predominate hatch but we’re still seeing goldens as well. The Pmd’s, yellow sallies and caddis are really consistent too. Look for the bigger fish in the tight pockets grassy banks and tailouts.

We’re seeing lots of grey drakes, meaty yellow sallies and some nice pmd’s too. Dropping a bead head in the afternoon can still produce a few fish too.

The Golden stones are the most predominant hatch right now but there’s plenty of yellow sallies, a few drakes and caddis in the evenings. We’re seeing a warming trend over the next 10 days so the early bird gets the worm!

The bite has still been good on streamers mostly but nymphing a turd and a worm has been productive as well along with a caddis pupa too. The rains in the afternoons have been washing a lot of worms into the water and the fish are gorged with the them.

Wyoming Snow and Water Forecasts and Winter Predictions

Wyoming Snow and Water Forecasts and Winter Predictions

11.17.14

Trying to predict the current winter snowfall and next season’s water supply is a very tricky and unpredictable process. Conditions are ever changing, especially in the mountains.  We rely on a plethora of scientific data that’s available to us via the internet such as these websites:

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2014/20141016_winteroutlook.html

http://www.wrds.uwyo.edu/wrds/nrcs/snowmap/snowmap.html

http://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/

http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/rfc/

http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/burtea.html

http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/?m=real&r=wy&w=map

 

These sites have an amazing amount of useful data but it often comes down to late spring time before we really have abetter idea of which drainages will be fishing at which time and their prospective flows. Noting that this past August was cold and rainy, which was really odd for the high desert we call home. It is worth noting that after this past year’s moisture collectively Wyoming is doing very well on holdover water for next season.  We encourage you to look at them and try to get their basic relevance.

 

This map from NOAA shows a 50/50% chance of snow for our region. Not bad, I guess………kinda like all things in life to me.

The fishing report from the Upper Green River Pinedale Wyoming is the river is still fishing well and the flows are still at a rate where the river is still floatable. The fish are eating hoppers, caddis and tricos and are really keyed in on each hatch. Being the weather is still continuing to fluctuate, there’s been no consistent given time frame on the hatches during the day. With that being said, the best action has been mid morning till mid afternoon and late evening till dark. The curent forecast show the temps cooling off and the cloud cover is a HUGE bonus!

The fish are still looking up at Terrestrial, Trico and PMD’s and the bite has been much better in the morning and evening and somewhat dormant throughout the afternoons. Look for this trend to continue for the next week or so.

The Upper Green River Fly Fishing Report over the past week has been yet another roller coaster ride with the crazy swings in air and water temps. The flows have definitely come down to the 30 year average flows which makes the water more “user friendly”. We have seen drakes, green and grey, pmds. mahoganies, baetis, flying ants, beetles and hoppers. We’ve been guiding up and down the 160 miles that we’re permitted on and overall the action has been amazing! During the warmer days we’re putting on the river by 7am and getting off around 2pm then floating the evening hatch from 6-9pm. the past few days we’re seeing great surface action the entire day with the cooler temps, clouds and rain. We have yet to encounter many other people which only makes the experience that much better. Our clients are catching nice fish on each and every trip, all still on dry flies.

Gotta go to know! The reason I mention this is that Thursday on the Upper Green River was arguably one of the best days of dry fly fishing for huge trout i’ve ever seen, ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET! Then, we go back yesterday and it was good fishing but not even close to what we experienced the day before. There were so many fish over 20″ sipping spinners all day long that we almost had to spend the night. The Grey Drakes and PMDS have been quite plentiful and the fish and certainly keyed in on them. Each day has proven to be different action at different times due to the water flows waning back to “normal” flows. One has to remember that this time last year the Green and New Fork were borderline unfloatable and in some places almost stopped flowing completely in mid August. What a difference the snow and rain makes! Thankfully, the moisture gods have been smiling upon our region, which is making for epic days on the river. Speaking of moisture, there was such a huge storm pass through the region on Tuesday evening the fishing/catching throughout western Wyoming was pretty much non-existent on Wednesday. Gotta go to know!!!

The temps from Sat 7/5 through 7/9 hit a high of 90 which slowed the catching down some but now that the afternoon t-storms cycle has re-started we’re seeing the epic Grey Drake hatches kick in to high gear. The bite has been from 9am to late afternoon and it’s only going to get better as these cloudy days persist. Every day the pattern de jour has changed from the duns to emergers to the spinners. In some areas the pmd’s are really starting to come off as well. As for the golden stones it appears as if they’re waning now.

As the old saying goes “the fruit is ripe for picking”. The action has been from mid day to late evening and should start even earlier as the temps warm up. We’re seeing the Grey Drakes and PMD’s getting more substancial every day and the golden stones are still prevalent on most areas on the mid to upper reaches. The fish have been keyed in on the emergers on some stretches and spinners on others and adult duns on others. Yesterday we floated above Warren Bridge and had fish eating dry flies all afternoon and evening. We had the quad species day yesterday landing browns, rainbows, cutties and brookies.

So the roller coaster ride is still happening with the flows! We’ve had some enormous storms in the area over the past week which had only added to the unpredictable runoff given all factors to be considered. The Green and New Fork Rivers are currently rising and are forecasted to level out at the current flows over the next week, per the NOAA Green River Runoff forecast.

The fishing/catching the past week has still been productive and plentiful. The fish are eating the Golden Stones on the surface, the classic turd and a worm for the subsurface setup with plenty of spit shot and the streamer action has been best on the JJ’s special or a pattern similar in a golden or yellow color using a 250 grain sinking line.

Last week we were on the water mid week with a wintery mix freezing and several days later we were wet wading. If that doesn’t sum up the wacky runoff then nothing will. The colder temps have really cleared the river for the time being and the caddis and salmon flies have been out in swarms with the fish really keyed in on them. Yesterday we had fish up on the salmon fly all day long consistently. When I looked up the Upper Green River prediction from NOAA they’re showing another resurge of runoff so we’re going to wait and see what happens. Please see the chart below.

Hmmmm, well it was 36 degrees yesterday at Warren Bridge and blowing 20-25, with a “wintery mix.” The fishing was really hot, which kept us motivated until the clients couldn’t hold the rods any longer. The two young men who were out with their parents we’re very well behaved, polite and courteous and  were a pleasure to fish with. KUDOS to their parents for doing a great job raising them.

Anywho, the river is pretty darn clear right now but we’re expecting to see the snow that’s been falling on the mountains for the past few days to come down once it warms up over the next few days, which may muck up the water clarity.  The flows have also come down to a reasonable level as well. We’re seeing bwo’s the past few days. Prior to that we’ve seen a lot of caddis on the warmer afternoons along with some salmon flies as well. The bite has been from mid morning to late afternoon with the most productive method being sub surface with either a stonefly/san juan worm set up or streamers in either white or black. The fish are really moving around with the flows fluctuating so much but have typically been located in the drop offs and pockets where the flows are reduced.

There is still a huge amount of snow to melt still; as of today the 30 year average of moisture is 276%, which is  mind boggling. That being said looking at the chart below from NOAA the flows at Warren Bridge are still double of the 30 year average and the flows above Fontenelle Reservoir are just about a flood stage, currently.

Green River Prediction

 

We are planning to start guiding the lower reaches around late June, hopefully. Stay tuned for updates.

Green River Fishing Report Pinedale Wyoming

5.22.14 Green River Fishing Report Pinedale Wyoming

Flows at Warren Bridge: 2060 CFS

Flows above LaBarge WY: 3850 CFS

The Green river is totally blown out and running twice the flow of the 30 year average. See the flow chart from the USGS and the photo below, which shows the water getting close to being bank full. This weekends temps should bring a lot of snow down and we’re hoping the water stays within its banks. RDA is starting to guide trips on the Upper reaches of the Green River in mid June and we’ve only got a few slots left. Please call 307.739.7020 to book your trip or get the latest information.

Green River Fly Fishing Report Wyoming

5.7.14

Flows at Warren Bridge: 1080 CFS

The current Green River Fly Fishing Report Wyoming is the flows are double that of the normal 30 year average currently. The snowpack up in the Wind River Mountains is still sitting at 158% of a 30 year average, which is exactly double of what we had last year at this time. We’re expecting the flows to be relatively the same for the next week then picking up velocity as the forecasted temps increase later this week. We’re planning to start guiding mid June on the Upper reaches of the river in mid June, but please check back as we’ll be updating the conditions. We have access to 30 different sections to guide you on so lets get the party started!

Green River Fishing Report for Pinedale Wyoming

4.25.14

Warren Bridge Area is still ice affected

Flows above Fontenelle: 2500 CFS

The latest Green River Fishing Report for Pinedale Wyoming for this week has been: Hit and Miss with LOTS of wind!. The streamer fishing has been great on the days the water has been clear and most of the ramps below the Hatchery are now open. The streamer pattern we’ve had the most consistent action on is the JJ’s special in a size 4.  Expect the runoff to effect the fishing adversely as  time goes on and the temps warm up. The current snowpack in the Wind River Mountains  is still sitting at 158% of a 30 year average. Once the runoff gets underway we should have a better idea of when we’ll be getting out on the water to guide. The huge runoff should produce stellar fishing conditions throughout the entire season once the waters settle down. For an up to date report please call us @ 307.739.7020.

Our Pinedale Wyoming Fly Fishing Guides report that the Upper Green River is still froze up and the access is very tough still.

We’re guiding on the water below the Fontenelle Dam currently until the Bureau of Reclamation ups the flows to 4000 cfs, which they’re projected to do around the end of April. Please stay in touch @ 307.739.7020 to get the latest report as we’ll have boats out guiding.

Green River Fly Fishing Guides Pinedale Wyoming

3.25.14

Reel Deal Anglers guides’ are getting very excited for another stellar season of guiding  on the Green River with our professional fly fishing guides near Pinedale Wyoming. As of today the snowpack in the Winds, where the Green River originates is 161% of normal. With this being known we’re expecting a big runoff, which typically results in proving excellent fishing with amazing hatches. We are planning to start guiding below the Fontenelle Reservoir the first week of April. The flows will be higher than normal as the Bureau of Reclamation will be moving water downstream in anticipation of the big spring runoff. We will also be guiding on the upper Green River as the snow and ice melts. As soon as we get out on the water we will provide the latest reports. To book your trip please call us @ 307.739.7020.

Green River

7.8.13

Flows at Warren Bridge: 945cfs

The Green River is fishing very well and  the hatches have been amazing every day. The Upper reaches have seen blankets of Grey Drakes every morning and lasting for 4-5 hours with fish sipping until mid afternoon. There’s also been a mahogany hatch as well before the drakes pop which get the fish up as well.

The middle and lower reaches also have blankets of grey drakes along with pmds, yellow sallies, caddis and mahoganies, which are keeping the fish plenty active and feeding for the better part of the day.

Look in the deeper runs towards mid day and that’s where we’re seeing the larger fish feeding. With all of the rain that we’ve seen in the Green River basin lately the water temperatures are optimal for dry fly fishing.

REMEMBER: FOAM IS HOME!!!

Green River

Flows: 775 cfs at Warren Bridge

The Green River has been a very consistent producer of lots of really nice fish eating dry flies. The fish are keyed in on these prolific hatches of Golden Stones and Grey Drakes every day. Before and after the bite stripping a streamer keeps you in the game as does dropping a soft hackle hares ear below the dry fly.

As the forecasted temps rise to almost 90 this weekend the hatches will start earlier and wane about mid day. The area towards the headwaters will be the “place to be” with the hot temps over the weekend. Reel Deal Anglers guides on these waters that start at 8200ft at Green River Lakes and continue down to Seedskadee NWR. We have a new private, exclusive access between the Sommers public ramp and HWY 351 ramp, which gets you away from the crowded sections that have been getting lots of pressure the past few weeks. ESPECIALLY during the 4th of July week.

We’re anticipating the flows to increase as the hot temps melt the remaining snow up in the high country of the Wind River Range.

For more information about our trips or to get the latest report please call 307.739.7020.

Green River 6/12/13

******UPDATE******** As of this evening 6.7.13 the lower Green has blown out.

The Upper Green near the lakes is clear and fishing good and below Fontenlle is ON FIRE!!!

The Green River is still currently fishing well on dry flies. We’re still seeing a few Salmon flys along with PMD’s, Caddies and some Golden Stones. The water clarity today is a 7 out of 10, with 10 being crystal clear. If the water continues to rise and get a tint to it you can still catch fish on a nymph rig. Using a stone fly for the point fly and a san juan work for the trailing fly.

The Green below Fontenelle is fishing AMAZING right now with the Cicadas! The fish are keyed in on them and this is the water where you’ve always got a legit shot at a 10 pounder!!!

Flows: Warren Bridge 775 CFS Fontenelle: 800 CFS
