Green River / Pinedale Report
The Pinedale area is home to many streams and lakes. The highlights are the Green River and the New Fork. The Green is a great river for all, while the New Fork is for the more seasoned angler, 18 hour days are not uncommon. These smaller and lesser known fisheries offer some of the best Brown Trout fishing in our region.
Located approximately an hour south of Jackson Hole, the Green River is a much smaller river than the Snake, yet is ideal to fish out of a drift boat. This intimate river originates in the Wind River Mountain range and flows all the way through Wyoming until in enters Utah in the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
The Green River flows through ranch land and sagebrush fields that is home to many moose, mule deer, antelope and birds of many species. It offers a variety of species of trout, including cutthroat, rainbow, the hybrid cutt-bow, brown and brook trout.
The season on the Green usually begins a month prior to the water clearing on the Snake, in mid-June.
