Anyone have any info the Green? Heading next weekend. I have heard the flows have been kind of crazy. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Will be on the A section, and maybe the top of the B if it is clear. Maybe we will luck out with a Cicada hatch. Have never been there for that, but have heard great stores. Will be wading. Although will be taking the pontoon next time after the shoulder heals a bit more.
Thanks

Ok Im no expert on the green but good advice is think little then go smaller size 18-22 flies. Scuds will always produce fish along with other standard nymphs. Prestention is key here because all the fish are educated from large amounts of flies flogged at them. No drag drifts with the above mentioned fly should get you into a few

We fish the Green fairly frequently. One of the key places to look to see what will be going on is the USGS website for the Greendale gauge, which is across from the boat ramp at the dam. You can see what BuRec is doing with the flow. Here is the URL:

They finished ramping down from 4300 cfs to an average 1600cfs flow. Unfortunately they are hitting the average by dropping to 850 cfs around 11pm, holding that for 6 hours then ramping up to 1800 cfs for 6 hours and then up to 2200 cfs for 6 hours, then back to 850 cfs. It averages out at 1600 cfs. What it does is causes about a 2 foot fluctuation in river level each day. They have also taken the temperature uf for 8.5 degrees C (47 degrees fahreheith) to 10.6 degrees C. which is 51 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Here is the URL for the Trout Creek Flies river report.

They post a report and update it on an irregular basis. Good information. The June 6th report indicates no cicadas yet. Maybe with some warming weather. We were over two weeks ago and there was no surface action in the two days we were there. Got all of our fish on streamers. The guides were getting all of theirs on nymphs fished very deep. Typical leaders looked to be 10 - 12 feet. Tells you the fish are on the bottom. Nymph deep and nymph small, or swing streamers - Goldilocks and olive wool sculpins worked for me.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. This is great. I am so excited. We leave tomorrow afternoon, and have heard the fishing has been pretty good. Excited to continue to try and get my technique better. I will let everyone know how it goes.
