Green River Fishing Report 

September 3, 2026 

Flows: 1,800-2,850 cfs daily/ nightly 

Temps: 57-59 F 

Fishing is decent to good on all three sections. Some days are better than others. The flows are continuing to fluctuate throughout the day. Nymph fishing remains consistent, particularly the first few miles of the A section. It’s been a

wetter than normal summer with the current monsoonal flow, and the B/C sections have been blown out quite often lately. The water is back to normal clarity currently, and the fishing has improved as a result. 

Dry fly fishing is spotty, but there are some nice fish looking up. Try terrestrial flies, but if you find fish podded up they are likely feeding on pseudos (fall baetis). The streamer fishing is starting to improve as the browns bulk up for the upcoming spawn. Some good colors to try are olive, white, and black. 

Go-To Flies: 

Worm patterns-red, brown, and orange. (sz. I0-14) Sow bug patterns-grey, tan. ( sz.16-20) Scud patterns-olive, orange. (sz. 18-22) Baetis/BWO patterns- nymph and dry-light olive. (20-24) Ants-black, brown. (sz. 14-18) Cricket patterns-black. (sz. 10-14) Beetles/Seed bug patterns-black, brown, tan. (sz.10-14) Hopper patterns-tan, brown. (10-14) Cranefly patterns-tan, brown.
