Green River - Below Flaming Gorge
Tip of the week:
Techniques:
Fish Cicadas over drop offs, seamlines and pocket water. Look for fish tight to the bank and cast a Cicada a couple of feet upstream of them And let it drif over them. Strip streamers off the bank if in a boat, swing streamers if wading. Look for surface feeders and fish Blue Wing's, and Midge dry flies using a very long 6x leader to gently float the fly directly into the feeding fish.Nymph a egg with a scud or midge dropper also try a Hopper Ant or Cricket with an egg dropper. Nymph drop offs and seamlines.
Seven-day forecast:
Decent chance for catching a couple of fish on Cicadas.
