In this river report we will make an effort to inform you all about the Green River, giving you the         information needed to know what to expect at any given time of the year.
To begin with our river is fishable throughout the 12 months of the year. There are times during the winter when weather does prohibit fishing, although If a person is feisty enough to combat the worst weather conditions they will be able to still catch fish. Our location on the very eastern edge of the vast Uinta Mountains means that many of the storms that pound the Wasatch and eastern Uintah. are reflected aside by the mountain range making this area less snow packed then areas around us.
There is not a significant number of insect hatches because of the tail-water fishery, however when there are hatches they're really quite heavy.

Hatch Chart

Early Midge	January - May 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM	Dry flies Size 20 - 26  --- para-adams, befus emerger, 2 bead midge, Nymphs - zebra midge, WD40, RS2,
Blue wing Olive	Late March to Early May	Dries - Size 16-20 - para adams,
Cicada	20th May to 15th June	They are on many year cycles therefore hatches each year are uncertain. On this river if the weather doesn't knock them out then we usually get a hatch, some years much better than others
Pale Morning Dun	July 1st to 20th	Very good hatches on lower sections, sometimes above
Hoppers	June to September	2008 was a fantastic year 2009 keep you fingers crossed
Ants, Beetles	May to September	Better always have a few patterns to match these. Never used enough
Scuds	Full year	Olive to gray is the natural color. sometimes orange to match dead scuds or a pink which is a good attracter.
Crane fly Larvae		Use to account for more large trout than any other. Now the way they are releasing the flows we have lost the numbers of old, so they are not quite as effective.
yellow Sally Stone	July 1st to August	On lower sections in Browns Park. a very good hatch bringing up many rising fish.
Tricos	September	Mornings about 8:30

 

 The winter hatches of midge are still around in the mornings and the dry fly fishing is good early and into the middle of the day. Tiny dries such as para-adams, griffith Gnats, brooks sprout emergers will do quite well at most times. Any of the skinny body nymphs in small sizes are effective even when the hatch has not begun. Zebra nymphs in red, black, brown, and wine are good, so are the WD 40s.

Floating the canyon section below the dam is doing quite well now.  Streamers can still be effective if you are floating the river. Most colors are working but it will change at times and one will work better than others. You will also run across rising fish in some of the likely areas and stop and work to them if you wish to throw dries.

Flies: Midges, Midge adams, Midge black, befus emerger, ju ju beatis and this type of fly are some examples of dry flies to use. There are countless other patterns that would prove successful.

Have a great time and no matter what season is upon us, always bring some warm fleece and rain gear for protection from the elements that can crop up at any time. This is still a time of year to be ready for any type of weather. Never trust what the morning looks like, have extra layers you can work with if the wind or temperature acts up.
