Your time on the Green River will not only hone your skills but also create memories of fishing in one of Wyoming’s most iconic fly fishing locations.
Fly fishing on the Green River is productive, but certain seasons stand out for optimal conditions. The peak period for fly fishing extends from late spring through early fall when water temperatures encourage active trout feeding. During these warmer months, dry fly fishing becomes especially exciting as trout rise to take advantage of prolific hatches in the mornings and evenings. Watching a brown or rainbow trout strike at a dry fly on the surface adds a thrilling element to summer fishing on the Green.
Late spring and early fall are ideal for those who enjoy a mix of surface and subsurface action. These shoulder seasons feature variable water temperatures that prompt trout to feed across different levels of the water column. This makes it an excellent time to switch between nymphs, dry flies, and streamers, allowing for a diverse and rewarding fly fishing experience.
