The Green is still fishing quite well across most sections, but most notably near Warren Bridge and further upstream. The water coming out of the mountains is still cold, but these warm days have rendered the upper reaches of the Green habitable and productive for larger insects. We have begun to see golden stones and drakes mixed in with the caddis that have been hatching for weeks on the upper Green.

With less pressure on the sections near Boulder, the fishing has really picked up for our guides, especially in the morning. The blue-bird skies make for some spooky fish, so take advantage of low light when and where you can get it. The drakes haven’t slowed down much, but small terrestrials like beetles and ants have begun to fish well on the banks.

The Green is down and fishable and fishing well! We still haven’t seen any of the usual algae bloom yet, so use that to your advantage. Most of the action is coming from nymphs and streamers, but there are reports of golden stones and PMDs.

Word on the street is that the bighorn is slated to drop significantly within this week. Now it is still very high but will likely be fishing very soon. Streamer fishing is still our recommendation to get deep to those aggressive bottom-dwellers.
