Green River Fly Hatch Information

Let’s examine the fly hatches and recommended patterns for each section of the Green River:

Section A  (7.6-mile stretch below the dam):

Caddis Hatch: The Caddis hatch is thick, and PMD spinners and Yellow Sallies dance on the water’s surface.

Recommended Flies:  Use BWO nymphs and emergers in sizes 18-22 during hatches. PMD patterns like Parachute Adams and Sparkle Duns work well.

Section B:

Morning Hatches: Caddis and PMD hatches last until around 2 PM.

River Flow: The river flows gracefully, inviting you to explore its hidden pockets and riffles.

Recommended Flies: Elk Hair Caddis and X-Caddis imitations in sizes 14-18.

Section C:

Hatches: PMDs and terrestrials steal the show.

Experience: Imagine the thrill of hooking into a feisty trophy size trout surrounded by nature’s tranquility.
