The Green River (near Pinedale, WY) is fishing well. Indeed, now is the
time to be on the Green because with the accelerated runoff the hatches
have started early and it's hard to tell how long the water levels will
stay good.
Above Warren Bridge for the 18 miles of public access the giant Golden
Stones and Grey Drakes are being seen and it's just a matter of time
before the fish begin to react. Downstream from the Warren Bridge fish
have been up on the Golden Stones and the Grey Drakes have started their
daily emergences. Also of note are good hatches of Hendrickson's or (as
they are better known in the west) Red Quills. Green Drakes have also
been seen. For imitations Size 8 and 10 Yellow Turck's Tarantula's and
Yellow Stimulators in like sizes will work for the Golden Stones. For
the Grey Drakes a #10 Parachute Adams is pretty hard to beat when fished
between 9AM and 2PM. A # 14 or #16 Mahogany Dun will cover well for the
Hendrickson hatches. The Green River in this area is a great streamer
river. Try Black and Olive Rabbit Leeches in sizes 6 and 4 fished into
the bank and behind every boulder.
