Green River trout fishing

[PAGOAT]

What's the trout fishing like on the Green River in Oct? I'll be looking around north of the Warren Bridge on highway 189. I'm not a fly fisherman, spoons and spinners I am thinking so far.

This year we’ll be lucky to have water in the Green River in Oct. Really.

It's usually quite good, but flows could be quite low this year. Although the headwaters are getting a bunch of snow right now and, compared to everywhere else, are in pretty good shape. I wouldn't bank on putting a boat in in October! If nothing else, it is an unbelievable landscape to hang out in.

Fishing is ok - not necessarily great enough to be specifically worth the trip but if you're there to hunt, the fishing is good enough to warrant bringing a rod.

Be warned! I cannot attest to the mosquitoes in October, but during other times of year I assert they are some of the worst swarms in the lower 48. It is literally the only place where I was driven to seek shelter from mosquito clouds.

Edit: I also found my first elk antler shed up there. That was pretty cool.

I'll be in the area for a cow elk tag. Not drawn yet but I'm all but 100% I'll have that tag again. I'll be staying right near the river and coming out 5 days early so figured we'd bring some fishing rods along.

Ya may have to bring your own water for the fish. Looks bleak as of now.

all of this ^^^

I cannot attest to the mosquitoes in October,

When we hunt around my family friends cabin (a couple miles from Warren bridge) we generally go drum up a few fish up there and I haven’t encountered a single mosquito in October.

Beautiful country and fishing can be quite good. But generally a nice mid day respite from elk/antelope/deer hunting.

P.S. The antelope in my profile pic is from that area.

Closer to Warren bridge down in the BLM portions isn't bad - once you start pushing north across the USFS boundary in unit 141 and up the river, the story changes quick. The road becomes pretty unpleasant too. Good way to keep the tourists out.

Here’s the latest on fishing on the Green. The advisory is pretty much for the entire river.

Game and Fish asks anglers to help protect fisheries in Pinedale during summer heat
POSTED:
JULY 23, 2026

PINEDALE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is asking anglers to help protect northwest Wyoming's premier trout fisheries by adjusting their fishing practices in the summer heat. Unseasonably warm temperatures and low-flow conditions across the Pinedale region are causing some stream temperatures to regularly exceed 70 degrees in the afternoon and evening.

Anglers are asked to voluntarily quit catch-and-release fishing from noon until sunrise at the following locations:

• The Green River from the Forest Boundary to Fontenelle Reservoir.
• The New Fork River from Mesa Bridge to the confluence with the Green River.
• North Horse Creek.

Signs explaining the voluntary closure will be posted at major public access points.
