Is the Green River fishable right now?

Right now the Green River is running 1,100 cfs, which rates prime against its prime 800–2,600 cfs band. Today's bite odds are 85 out of 100, with partly cloudy (28% cloud). These are probabilistic odds from live data, not a guarantee — a sharp change in flow is the variable most likely to slow the fishing.

What is the best month to fish the Green River?

The best months on the Green River are September, October, April, May. These combine settled flows in the river's prime band with the season's strongest hatches. Green River's overall season runs year-round tailwater; prime september–october & spring.

What flow (cfs) is good for fishing the Green River?

The Green River fishes best in roughly the 800–2,600 cfs range (its prime band). It stays fishable from about 700 cfs up toward 4,600 cfs; below that it's low and skinny, and above 4,600 cfs it's typically blown out and off-color. We compare the live USGS discharge to this band on every reading.

A ✓ means the flow sits in the Green River's prime 800–2,600 cfs band — the season and the moon/solunar windows then move each day's bite odds.

Conditions & the best window

The prime bite is dawn and the last hour of light, strongest around the new and full moon. Today's sky on the Green River looks partly cloudy (about 28% cloud) — and an overcast day can actually keep fish looking up. Watch the flow as much as the sky: a sharp change in discharge, up or down, can turn the fish off for a day.

The 7-mile Little Hole trail follows the A section with wade access the whole way; most anglers float it with a guide and hop out to wade the flats and riffles. Releases from Flaming Gorge set the level — sight-fishing is best in the lower, clearer end of the prime band.

These are probabilistic fishability odds, not a guarantee. We build them from live USGS streamflow, each river’s published fishable-flow band, the curated season, and a moon/solunar model — flow and weather can change fast, and even a perfect flow on the right moon can fish slow. Some prime days disappoint; some marginal ones surprise. How we compute the score.
