Spring Forward, Green River Flyfishers!

Flows are now a steady 800 cfs as we enter March, down from the 1,100 cfs we saw in February. Flows will remain at the 800 cfs range until May, when the BOR raises the release to 4600 cfs for 10 days to simulate the spring runoff on the Green prior to the construction of Flaming Gorge Dam. Dates of the upped flows have not been determined yet. Next meeting with the BOR will occur April 15, and the proposed dates will be revealed then. Watch this blog for updates!

The water temperature is currently at 40 degrees, and is slowly raising as the day temperatures rise.
