We've got a party of 4 coming from the east coast the week of the 4th of July. We are planning on the Green up in Wyoming, the Middle Provo, the Weber and maybe the Strawberry at the Pinnacles. We hear the the rivers are very high and are only going to get worse.
How bad is it?

I stopped by a few spots along the Weber River yesterday and the whole river as of now is completely unfishable, don't waist your time here.
I fished the Middle Provo on Friday and flows were great. However, the flow was 400 CFS when I fished it and now it is running at 1200 CFS so it may be blown out as well.
I would say the Green would be your best bet.

There all blown. I'm doubting there's much chance for the Green in Wyoming will be worth the trip unless you like whitewater kayaking or rafting. The Provo and Weber are just gearing up and much higher flows are to come.Those high elevation drainages are really going to go into 24 hour continuos melting over the next 2 weeks. They'll be flooding within days on both. I think there's a chance the Strawberry outflow might come down by then to make a trip worthwhile. If they are all blown think mid-elevation drainages or further south. Some tremendous stream fishing right now at a few select spots. Pick up about 70 nice size trout yesterday afternoon before my arms tired, it finally slowed to not catching anything for more than 5 minutes at a time and I headed home. If you're really desperate send me a pm right before July 1 and I'll give you the rundown on what's fishing well.

The Green in wyoming is blown out from above Warren Bridge clear to Flaming Gorge. I've seen much of it first hand lately, driving right by.
