 Green River, Utah: Fly Fishing March Madness
Posted by skitch976 on Thursday, January 25 @ 09:52:11 PST
The second week of March brings a break for me and many other students throughout Utah. While others may go crazy on spring break, my wife and I want to take the opportunity to get some good fishing in. Fly Fishing the Green River sounds like a really good idea, but we know nothing about this great river. So here are our questions: The dates we are planning on are March 9 - 14ish. Where should we camp? Is the fishing good on the Green this time of year? We will be only wade fishing; where should we go? What patterns and types of flies should we take/use? Essentially we know nothing about the Green River and what to expect. I am hoping to get all the info I need right here, and I am sure I won't be disappointed. Thanks

There is some free camping close to the little hole turnout but weve been in snowstorms the last couple years over this period. Not too bad for fishing cause they usually only last a day and the rest of the time is sunny but if your in a tent it sucks. If the weather is nice you should see a small baetis hatch, nyphming always works too. there shouldn't be many people to deal with so the whole river should be good. it will be sunnier and warmer around little hole vs. below the dam. Trout creek usually has a best of winter float that's pretty reasonable and can be very productive. A float down the river is a great way to break up 4 days of wading. BWO's may be around also depending on the weather. |

I went last year about the same time. There was a good BWO hatch and caught more fish than expected. Also check out the tribs. |

On the other hand, the midge fishing in March is sick. It is already sick right now. Midges start coming off at about 10:30 and will last until 3:00. Then they come back to the water to mate and lay eggs in the evening. Most people are gone at that time. You can stay at Trout Creek Flies, Flaming Gorge Lodge, or Red Canyon Lodge. Trout Creek has only 4 rooms, and red canyon's resaraunte is only open weekends. Rooms are 65-70 in the off peak season.
If you want to camp, drippping spring is the best option because it is right near the river. There are also other places around to camp. All through "B" section, there are numerous float in, float out campsites. At the b section takeout there is a campground at indian crossing. If you go even further down the river there are also a bunch of campsites you can drive right into on c section.
The fishing on b and c section is a lot more spotty than on a section, but there are much fewer people, larger, harder fighting fish, and more sunlight. The "X" factor is red creek, which is a flash flood tributary that comes into the river halfway down b section. If red creek has water running down it, it is going to blow out the entire river below. this is something you want to consider if storms are forecasted that time. |
