The season is off to a great start with great fishing! There are still some April dates open. We do have some winter conditions so dress warm. The lake is also fishing well!

BIG BROWNS IN FALL
Kathy landed an awesome brown yesterday on the Green River, Utah. Fishing below the Flaming Gorge Dam is always beautiful in the Fall; the colors are a wonder to see! Mike also landed some great fish!
MAY FISHING
The Green is fishing well, both dries and nymphs are working. We expect high flows to start in the next few weeks. Angler Joe Snoy caught this beautiful rainbow last week!
TERRESTRIALS WORKING WELL
Its August on the Green River Utah and that time of year when terrestrials are working well! Try a big ant, hopper, or beetle. Matt out of NY landed this beautiful brown yesterday!
29 INCH RAINBOW
Steve and his son Jake out from Michigan landed this beautiful 29 inch Rainbow on the a section May 5th. It measured 29 inches! And was landed on a size 22 baetis nymph. It is one of the cleanest rainbows we have ever seen on the Green River, Utah.
AUGUST FISHING ON THE GREEN
August is here and summer is almost over! The river has been busy with rafters and fisherman! Big bugs have recently been doing well for dry fly fishing. Hoppers are on the banks and fish are looking up. The pseudo hatch has started, try a pheasant tail nymph. Small ant flies are also working. We’ve had rain showers almost every day for the last month, so bring your rain jacket!

RIVER FLOWS DROP TODAY
Inflows did not reach expected capacity for Flaming Gorge Reservoir during April and May, therefore the Bureau of Reclamation has decided to decrease flows to 6600 CFS for the next couple of weeks. Expect flows to increase again around the end of the month.
FISH FLAMING GORGE
River fishing is good right now. The water is at 9100 cfs so high water is still rushing. Blue Wings continue to hatch and there is some dry fly fishing. Fish are suspended in the back eddies eating BWO’s in the afternoons. We have been seeing Cicadas on the A section; if there are a whole bunch there could be some dry fly action on big bugs.
The lake fishing on Flaming Gorge has been good with Flying Ant hatches happening and rainbows coming out of the spawn. We have been getting rainbows on attractor patterns dropped with a Zebra Midge or stripping leech like patterns. An olive or black Zig-Jig is also working well.
Stay safe and enjoy this nice weather!
GREEN RIVER GUIDE IN NEED
Fly Gishing Guide Wade Isaman lost his boat and all his gear on Red Creek Rapid on the B Section of the Green River Utah on April 20, 2017. There is a Go Fund Me account set up to assist in his losses so he can continue to work throughout the season. Please consider donating to his fund and stay safe on the river! It is very dangerous right now- cold and at 8600 CFS.

SPRING FISHING
The flows are high at 8600 CFS. But don’t let that scare you! The fishing is great and there is a nice BWO hatch on. Try setting up a nymph rig for the upper A section, and on the lower near Little Hole you should be able to get some dry fly action! Mark Wilson landed this beautiful rainbow last week.
