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 overcast (about 95% 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.
