The Green River Fishing Report

 

 

Feb. 17th 2008. The river is at 800cfs and holding until further notice. The fishing is just now getting to be enjoyable as it has been quite a cold and windy winter. The air temps are starting to move upwards these days. The guides that have been fishing recently have been throwing woolly buggers with good success. The fish have been chasing virtually all colors this time of year. The nymphs that have been working are your basic midge nymph and emerger patterns in dark colors. This is standard for the Green in the winter time. I also like the grey RS2, burgundy WD40s and the blood worm or blood midge. All nymph sizes are in the 20s. If you can find a nice sunny day during a high pressure there will be a good midge hatch down at Little Hole. You’ll be able to stick some fish on the surface with Griffiths Gnat, Adams, double midge and other little fuzz ball patterns.

Spring is just around the corner, see you soon.
