How To Fish It
- Maintain a drag-free drift close to weed beds and gravel runs where trout feed on drifting nymphs.
- Use Indicator Nymphing.
- Favor Small beadheads, natural coloration, and subtle profiles.

About The Green River
The Green below Flaming Gorge Dam is one of the West's signature tailwaters, known for clear water, strong bug life, and high trout density. The river is split into recognizable sections, but the core pattern is the same: technical presentations in stable holding water.
Rainbows and browns are the primary quarry. Anglers know the river for productive nymphing, selective dry-fly fishing, and trout that feed heavily on small invertebrates year-round.
