Green River Fishing
The Green River is a popular fly fishing stream and is considered one of the best tailwater fisheries in North America. The Division of Wildlife Resources in Utah states that the Green River has between 8,000 and 22,000 fish per mile between the dam and Red Creek rapids. You can go green river fishing in every season, whether you're a novice or an expert fisherman. Warm temperatures starting in March cause fish to become active and fishing really picks up. June is a beautiful time of year to go green river fishing. Fall is a challenging time of the year to see how skilled you are against some of the most selective trout you'll ever find. Winter is a great time to go green river fishing because there are no crowds. Make sure you wear warm clothes.
There are different sections where you can go green river fishing. A seven mile section from Flaming Gorge Dam to Little Hole is famous because of over 100,000 fish and the high red canyon walls. Most of the river traffic lies in this area. Another section is nine miles from Little Hole to Browns Park. There are plenty of fish available, but not as much as in the first section. Fishing in this section is best to do by boat. Make sure you have a good skill level because the fish fight hard in this area of the Green River. This area has some of the best dry dropper water in the world. The third section is 12 miles of Browns Park and is the least crowded. It's a favorite for mid-summer drifters. This area is said to be the best place to catch a football size trout on a dry fly. The quality of fishing is not as steady in this area.
