Snow is still an issue. Snowpack in the Upper Green River Drainage is at 406 percent of normal, the Lower Green River Drainage is at 286 percent, and the Upper Bear Drainage is at 848 percent. Peak runoff has not hit us yet, but it will in the coming days. Flows coming out of Fontenelle have increased to around 2230 CFS, full power plant capacity and then some. Fontenelle Reservoir is sitting at about 48 percent of live capacity. By June 12 flows are expected to increase to 3,700 CFS.
If you are nymphing, scuds, San Juan worms, midges, and baetis will get the job done. There has also been some caddis activity. The dry fly fishing is okay. If you see some fish rising you can get them with a cluster midge or a baetis cripple. Some fish have been eating chubby Chernobyl ants and other stimulators so the dry dropper fishing is starting to heat up. The streamer fishing has been good. Fish the slower, deeper runs with lighter colored streamers (white/gold or ginger) and you should have some success. Water clarity has been an issue due to snowmelt and quite a bit of rain over the past few days.
