What You Can Expect Fishing
Given the current water flow of 1,000 cubic feet per second from Flaming Gorge Dam, here’s what you can expect for fishing on sections A/B and C of the Green River for the next 5 days.:
1. **Section A/B (Flaming Gorge Dam to Little Hole)**:
– Water Levels: The flow is moderate, which is generally favorable for fishing.
– Drift Boat: You should be able to use a drift boat without major issues. However, always exercise caution and be aware of submerged rocks.

– Drift Boat: Drift boats are suitable here as well, but be mindful of rocks.

– **Nymphs**: Zebra Midges, Pheasant Tails, and Hare’s Ear Nymphs in sizes 16-20.
