The Green River is a freestone river in Wyoming, listed as Red Ribbon by Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
1 USGS gauge on the water reports flow; Wyoming Game and Fish Department lists 3 species, including brown trout, rainbow trout and mountain whitefish. 9 guides nearby are listed here; the nearest destination hub is Jackson Hole.

Green River is a freestone river in Wyoming. Our destination hub Jackson Hole lists it among its waters, 45 mi away in a straight line. The upper Green River above Fontenelle Reservoir; Utah's Flaming Gorge tailwater has its own page.
Pick one of its USGS gauges and hear from us when the flow moves into or out of its usual range for the date, or crosses a flow you set. We check the public USGS reading every 2 hours and email only when it crosses, at most once every 6 hours. Flow alone is not a fishing forecast or a safety call.
Signed in: one step. Otherwise we email a confirmation link first. Every alert has one-click links to stop it.
Start from the agency's public access map. Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish.

Seasons, limits, special regulations and closures for each reach are on the agency pages below. Read them before you go.
Each comes from the agency's own published list; where the list names a reach it is quoted. A designation applies to the listed reach, not necessarily the whole water. Listed in the finder under trout.

Areas the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US), public access (U.S. Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Project, read 2026-11-05) lists as owned or held in easement and open to the public, crossed by the mapped channel of the whole Green River.

Jackson Hole lists Green River among its waters, but the hub's centre is 45 miles away in a straight line, so the trip planner builds a trip around the water itself: the guides and shops listed within 40 miles of it, its gauges and its nearest towns and airports.
Lists this water · 45 mi away
Matched on the fish the agencies list for both waters first, then the same water type, an official designation or flagship listing on both, and a similar mapped size where USGS hydrography covers both.
At most two waters per country. A shared fish is a listing, not a promise: presence varies by reach and season.

A water page organises discovery. It does not assert public access, legal access, current fish presence, guide availability or fishing conditions.
Flows, gauge statistics and flood stages come from USGS and the National Weather Service when the page is shown. Regulations, stocking, species and season statements link to the agency that publishes them; this page copies only the species names and the quoted sentences. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: the USGS gauge GREEN RIVER AT WARREN BRIDGE, NEAR DANIEL, WY. Water type is our own classification.

During periods of high water, fish move towards the banks to find calmer water and lower velocitiesPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission
Wading and boating should be avoided if waters are running high and muddy and the streambed is not visiblePennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Normal for Nov 5: 124–184 ft³/s (middle half of 94 years of record). Now: 304 ft³/s, much above normal.
Much above normal for this date. 304 ft³/s is above the 90th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 94 years of record (1932–2026): 10th 103, 25th 124, median 151, 75th 184, 90th 229 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 60 ft³/s, highest 369 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−7.3% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
