WadeNot advised
Wading is the most sensitive plan today. Use protected edges only, avoid crossings, and downgrade quickly if clarity or current feels wrong.

Use caution
Green River is a cautious call right now.
Current USGS flow is 332 cfs and has been stable for about 6 hours. Today's flow is below the normal seasonal range, which begins near 431 cfs. This is below normal, so edge depth, temperature, and pressure matter.

Best supported approachFloat
Compare wading, bank fishing, and floating before choosing how you will fish.
Bank / edge56/100
Bank and edge fishing is the safer default when water is high, pushy, or not fully verified.
Float · Best fit68/100
A float can fit better than wading only if launches, shuttle, boat skill, wind, and local rules all check out.

How to fish it
Warren Bridge is worth fishing when the upper Green looks like a composed trout river with legal access and manageable edges, not when spring push or valley wind turns every stop into a compromise.
This reach is one of the clearest upper Green planning corridors because the access and the gauge point to the same water. Keep RiverReports open for trend context, confirm with USGS 09188500, and decide whether the day is a camp-road float, a short wade off the easement, or a quick scout-and-move call when runoff still owns the banks.
- WGFD says the Warren Bridge public access easement is open year-round but the parking area is not plowed in winter.
- That same WGFD page says the access road is an unimproved two-track that ends short of the river bank.
- BLM says the broader Warren Bridge river-access area has 12 camp areas along roughly nine miles of river, with boat ramps at sites 1, 2, 4, and 12.
- WGFD's instream-flow page calls this upper Green segment one of the state's most heavily used and productive fisheries.
Why the score looks this way
FlowUse caution
USGS shows 332 cfs with a stable over about 6 hours trend. Today's flow is below the normal seasonal range, which begins near 431 cfs. This is below normal, so edge depth, temperature, and pressure matter.
Public alertUse caution
An Air Quality Alert is active near this forecast point, so the score is capped at caution until smoke and access conditions are checked. NWS alert: Air Quality Alert issued August 5 at 11:07AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY.
Best mode nowUse caution
Float: A float can fit better than wading only if launches, shuttle, boat skill, wind, and local rules all check out.
SeasonHelps score
Summer: The broadest window for upper-Green dry-dropper, nymph, and short-float planning.
WeatherHelps score
The NWS forecast is about 68F with Areas Of Smoke.
Read the water
What changes the plan.
The Warren Bridge reach is strongest once runoff drops into defined seams and before late-summer warmth or heavy holiday traffic flatten the upper-river advantage. Skip it when the river still has no soft edges, the wind makes boat control sloppy, or the two-track approach roads are more trouble than the fishing is worth.
Dropping runoff
The best signal is the first return of defined bank seams and wadable inside edges, not just a lower graph line.
Stable summer flow
Best for mixing short wades with an easy upper-Green float or a camp-area walk-and-fish day.
High cold push
Usually a pass for wading and often a sign to scout only or choose another completed report.
Low warm late season
Fish early, keep trout handling short, and do not force a full-day plan if temperatures climb.
Your trip plan
Know when to go—and when to skip it.
Best flows
Best once runoff drops into visible seams and the banks stop feeling bank-full. Stable summer and early-fall trends are the most flexible planning windows.
When to skip
Skip when the river still owns the grass, when wind ruins boat control, or when late-summer warmth turns the day into a short dawn-only option.
Local plan
Check 09188500 early, start at the bridge corridor or the easement for a reality check, then either settle into one public access node or commit to a simple BLM float.
Backup water
If runoff, wind, or heat make Warren Bridge a poor call, pivot to a completed Snake River or Wind River plan instead of forcing a famous-name day.

March to AprilMidges, little black stones, BWOs, and cold-water nymph windowsZebra midge, black stonefly, BWO emerger, pheasant tail, perdigon
Fly pattern · report suggests “Zebra midge”Zebra MidgeLook for a very slim tapered thread body, evenly spaced contrasting wire rib, a small bead, and no tail or wing. The reviewed classic is black with silver wire and a silver bead. Red, olive, brown, glass-bead, jig-hook, resin-coated, or tailed forms must remain labeled variations rather than replacing the classic identity.See photos & how to fish it ↗
Fly family · report suggests “black stonefly”Black Stonefly PatternsBlack stonefly wording is a color and insect-group label, not one exact recipe. Size, nymph versus adult stage, wing profile, and weighting must remain explicit.See family guide ↗+ 3 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box May to JuneRunoff edges, caddis, PMDs, and stonefly activity once the river stops flooding the banksStonefly nymph, caddis pupa, PMD emerger, elk hair caddis, rubber legs
Fly family · report suggests “Stonefly nymph”Stonefly Nymph PatternsStonefly nymph patterns generally emphasize two tails, a broad thorax, segmented abdomen, and bottom contact; rubber legs, biots, beads, and jig hooks define different exact forms.See family guide ↗
Fly family · report suggests “caddis pupa”Caddis Pupa PatternsCaddis pupa is a life-stage family. Curved bodies, wing pads, legs, beads, and soft-hackle collars differ among exact patterns and must be labeled.See family guide ↗+ 3 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box July to SeptemberCaddis, PMDs, terrestrials, ants, beetles, and hopper banksChubby Chernobyl, hopper, ant, beetle, X-caddis, parachute Adams
Fly pattern · report suggests “Chubby Chernobyl”Chubby ChernobylIdentify the construction, not the color: a long foam overbody over a segmented dubbed underside, rubber legs at two tie-in stations, two distinct buoyant synthetic-yarn wing sections, and a short flash tail. The paired wing stations and layered foam-and-dubbing body separate the reviewed Chubby from the original Chernobyl Ant and from generic foam hoppers or beetles.See photos & how to fish it ↗
Fly family · report suggests “hopper”Grasshopper PatternsHopper patterns share a substantial body and long rear-leg impression, but foam, deer hair, wing construction, and waterline differ widely among named patterns.See family guide ↗+ 4 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box October to winterBWOs, midges, and short streamer windows in colder waterBWO emerger, midge pupa, olive bugger, sculpin, soft hackle

Fly pattern · report suggests “parachute Adams”Parachute AdamsThe upright light post and horizontal parachute hackle are the defining visual cues. The classic pilot example uses a gray-brown body and divided tail, but color and size variations should be labeled instead of treated as identical.See photos & how to fish it ↗+ 5 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box NymphsPheasant tail, hare's ear, perdigon, zebra midge, caddis pupa, stoneflyThe safest starting point for windy days, colder mornings, and shoulder-season flows.
Fly pattern · report suggests “Pheasant tail”Pheasant Tail NymphThe pilot page distinguishes the sparse original idea from the bulkier American form. Both use pheasant-tail fibers and copper wire, but bead heads, peacock-herl thoraxes, legs, flashbacks, jig hooks, and soft-hackle collars are variations that must be labeled.See photos & how to fish it ↗
Fly pattern · report suggests “hare's ear”Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear NymphStart with the material architecture, not brown color alone: a short fibrous tail, tapered rough-dubbed abdomen, open metallic rib, fuller buggy thorax, and dark wing case. A bead, flashback panel, hot spot, soft-hackle collar, jig hook, or dry-fly treatment changes the form and must stay named. The two photographed artificials are bead-head variations; the reviewed Fly Fishers International tying guide below is an unweighted Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear.See photos & how to fish it ↗+ 4 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box StreamersOlive bugger, black leech, small sculpin, sparse articulated baitfishUseful on cloudy afternoons, higher color, or when bigger browns hold tight to cutbanks and logjams.
Fly pattern · report suggests “Olive bugger”Woolly BuggerThe shared pattern language is a marabou tail, chenille or dubbed body, and palmered hackle. Bead heads, dumbbell eyes, flash, rubber tails, colors, and body materials materially change the tied variation and must be labeled. A Woolly Bugger can suggest a leech, crayfish, baitfish, or large nymph, but its marabou-tail and palmered-hackle construction remains a named pattern rather than the separate leech, rabbit-strip Zonker, or shaped-head sculpin families.See photos & how to fish it ↗
Fly family · report suggests “black leech”Leech PatternsLeech patterns share an elongated moving silhouette, but material, weighting, hook orientation, and retrieve vary. Pine-squirrel, rabbit-strip, balanced, and Woolly Bugger forms remain separately labeled rather than being presented as one recipe.See family guide ↗+ 2 more reviewed guides in the Fly Box 01
Use the WGFD easement for the simplest public first look before you commit to a longer float or camp-road hop.
02
On stable summer days, cover bank seams, log structure, and softer inside bends instead of forcing mid-river hero shots.
03
If the wind comes up, shrink the day and fish one access node well rather than burning time bouncing between launches.
04
When runoff is close but not gone, judge the day by edge quality and clarity, not by how famous the upper Green is.

Common questions
Before you leave.
Is Warren Bridge a wade river or a float river?+
It can be either, but this page is built around short public wades first and simple public launch planning second. Let the gauge, wind, and road conditions decide whether a float is worth the extra work.
What should I watch besides the gauge at Warren Bridge?+
Watch for wind, soft banks, road and launch conditions, and whether the river has defined safe edges instead of a bank-full push.
Why is this page narrower than a generic Wyoming Green River report?+
Because the upper Green changes character, access, and regulation context across long distances. Warren Bridge is one reach where the public access and the gauge line up cleanly enough to support a trustworthy report.
When is Warren Bridge worth skipping?+
Skip when runoff still fills the banks, when the unimproved roads are a bad bet, or when wind makes a boat day harder than the fishing is worth.
