The Green River is in excellent condition. We saw a little bump in flows from the rain this week that put a little color in the water and brought the water temps down even more. We are seeing fish spread throughout runs a bit more. Dry droppers in the riffles and pockets are still working well, but we are finding more fish along slower seams and in tailouts too. Streamer fishing has picked up a bit, especially in the slower pools and tailouts.

The New Fork seems to be coming back into shape. We have seen a fair amount of water temp improvement and we are starting to explore some of the lower sections again. We are seeing good hatches of tricos, BWOs, the occasional Callibaetis, and a few caddis. Hoppers and other large foam bugs are still producing in good numbers too. The streamer bite has been a little hit or miss but should continue to improve as the month goes on.

Conditions have remained pretty consistent below Fontenelle Dam, but temperatures have been in our favor. The cooler weather has helped to improve conditions a bit farther down the river. We have seen cooler water temps as far down as Hay Farm and expect the trend to continue. Hunting giants with Crayfish and streamers is going to get good as the weather cools and the Kokanee start to show up. Fishing hot heads is a good option this time of year.
