Green River Fishing Report
May 4, 2026
Flows: 8,600 cfs
Temps: 44-45 F
Drought conditions this year have brought about changes to our flows. Lake Powell is in trouble and water from the Flaming Gorge is being sent to help. Currently, the flows are at a steady 4,670 cfs, but the presence of razorback larvae downriver have been observed and the Fish and Wildlife Service have requested the implementation of the Larval Trigger Study Plan releases. The flows will increase to 8,600 on May 4th in increments at 10 am-1 pm. There is still some good fishing to be had, and the fish will be concentrated in the back eddies and the slower edges of the river. Nymphing has been most productive technique, but high flows always bring a chance for good streamer fishing as well. There are terrestrial insects around, and bwo’s are still present, but the dry fly fishing is tough at these higher flows.
Go-To Flies:
Worm patterns in different colors-red, pink, and brown. Sow bug patterns-gray (sz.14-18) Scud patterns-gray, olive, and orange-(sz.10-18) Egg patterns-pink, peach, and yellow. BWO patterns-(sz.16-18) Cranefly larvae-tan, olive (sz.4-8) Streamer patterns-articulated-olive, ginger, and white.
