Green River Wyoming Fishing

BIGHORN RIVER, GREEN RIVER & DUBOIS FISHING REPORTS:

Bighorn River Fishing Conditions: The Bighorn River is as big as most people have seen it right now and is flowing at 9012 cfs. Hot Springs County is requesting that people steer clear of the river until we get through our peak runoff (happening now). The river was fishing ok at 8000 cfs, but now it is a muddy mess. Current inflow is 17,775 cfs. We will not be booking trips on the Bighorn or below Boysen Dam until conditions improve. We will keep you posted on these conditions as they get better.

Dubois, Wyoming Fishing Report

Dubois Area Fishing Conditions: The Dubois area is the headwaters for the Wind River and Bighorn River. The Wind River and many of its tributaries are at peak muddy flows right now. If looking to fish the area we have had guides on the mountain lakes. The upper elevations are starting to improve and we have had success fishing these areas. Some of the high mountain creeks are becoming fishable. We have not really had any big hatches come off yet, so we are looking forward to the next several weeks as water conditions improve. We are taking bookings right now for the mountain lakes and high mountain streams right now.

Big Water Green River Fishing

Green River Fishing Conditions: We have been guiding on the Green River several days this week. Fishing has been productive when the weather and the wind are favorable. The Green River is flowing BIG (10,500 cfs) and is a little off color, but the fishing has remained steady despite big river flows. Definitely not a great time to wade fish the Green River, but the drift boat gets you to all the water. We are booking trips on the Green River right now, and conditions will only improve as the peak runoff subsides.

Bighorn & Green River Fishing Report: Spring Water Flows

Bighorn River Fishing Report Spring Conditions

Bighorn River Fishing Report: Spring Flows

The Bighorn River water flows have remained steady at 5500 cfs for several weeks. Inflow is roughly 2500 cfs and Boysen Reservoir is 61% full. We have a very large snowpack in the mountains surrounding the Bighorn Basin, and our first 80 degree weather is projected over the next few days. Lots of melting is going to happen, and we will keep you posted on conditions. Despite the winter storm this weekend and weather patterns the last few weeks we have been catching trout. It is not lights out like most Aprils we are all used too, but fish have to eat and our guides and guests have been bringing in a few nice sized trout each trip. Dunoir Fishing Adventures is happy with the high water! It should only help the fish populations and definitely helped the spawn this spring. We have more guide trips going out this week. Keep posted for more fishing reports and to check current water conditions on the Wind and Bighorn River please go to the Bureau of Reclamation’s website HERE.

Fontenelle Dam Water Release

Green River Fishing Report: Dam Release Schedule

Fontenelle Dam is scheduled to up the water release over the next few days. Guide Spike was on the Green River last week and water was murky with some improvement as the day went on. The fishing conditions aren’t as good as we saw them in while guiding in February and March. Weather temperatures will be increasing in the area over the next few days as well. The fishing will pick up once we get through some weather, snowmelt, and more stable conditions. Here at Dunoir Fishing Adventures we always have somewhere to fish even during challenging conditions.
