Special Considerations

Utah State Fishing Licenses are required for fishing the Green River. Local businesses sell licenses and equipment. Catch and release regulations apply to improve all anglers' chances.

Trout limit is three: two 13-inches or under; one 20-inches or over. Artificial flies and lures only: Fly anglers have found dry flies, nymphs and/or streamers successful. Spin anglers use jigs, Rapalas, and spin-type lures. Guides and outfitters provide fishing and scenic trips; contact the Forest Service for a current list of permittees.

River levels can fluctuate between 800 cfs and 4700 cfs depending on dam releases. River users must be prepared for rapid changes in volume; for this reason, life jackets are required and float tubes are not recommended.

Floating the Green River in rafts and dories is popular. Rapids depend on river flows; Spillway to Little Hole is generally easy to float with little white water (class II). Little Hole to Browns Park contains class III/IV rapids and requires more experienced boaters. Life jackets are required at all times. A bailing device and spare oar or paddle are also required. Dories 16 or larger require a throw rope; canoes must have flotation devices equivalent to 1/3 inside volume. Permits or launch slots may be required, check with the Forest Service for current requirements.

Restrictions

Mountain bikes are not allowed on the Little Hole Trail due to high angler use. Life jackets required for all participating in water activities.
