Today’s verdict
Conditions reported — a big 29°F swing through the day.
2,340 CFSFlow
59°F−1°Water temp2,340 CFS is right around its typical level for July — this stretch typically runs 1,350–2,490 CFS.
Wading tends to be more manageable at typical flows, but beds shift and cold water saps strength fast — read the water, stay within your limits, and check conditions on-site. You remain responsible for your own safety.
At 59°F, the water is in the prime range for trout — cold enough to fish and to handle fish safely.

The Greendale gauge sits just below Flaming Gorge Dam at the head of the Dutch John / Red Canyon tailwater — Sections A, B, and C down to Little Hole, the canyon water known for big trout. It carries both flow and water temperature, so the conditions reflect the tailwater anglers actually fish.

The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a clear, cold tailwater flowing through dramatic red-rock country in northeastern Utah. It is divided into the A, B and C sections. The A section below the dam has the highest trout density and easiest trail access; B is more remote and often floated as an overnight trip; C is less consistent but offers solitude and larger-river character. Brown and rainbow trout predominate, with cuttbows and occasional cutthroat trout and whitefish. Fishing is available year-round, although dam releases strongly influence tactics and access. Midges and blue-winged olives provide important cool-season fishing, followed by caddis and PMDs. Cicadas, ants, beetles and crickets can create memorable summer dry-fly action. Sight-fishing dry flies and dry-dropper rigs is popular in clear water, while small nymphs remain dependable. Streamers imitate abundant sculpins and can move larger trout, especially early, late or under clouds. Boats are the most efficient way to cover the river, but the A-section trail offers substantial walk-and-wade access.
