Red Desert. This is Flaming Gorge country. The Green has it all: gin-clear water, aquatic vegetation, huge boulders in the river, and steep canyon walls. One of the things that helps make the Green River such a unique trout fishery is controlled water temperature. The dam was retrofitted with a set of penstocks to blend warmer water closer to the surface with water from the bottom to supply an optimal 55- to 60-degree water release temperature for the trout fishery. This has helped maintain a diversified aquatic plant and insect population not seen on many tailwaters. The river supports an incredible number of trout per mile, with estimates upwards of 16,000 to 20,000 fish. This is for the upper canyon, with an average size being 14 to 17 inches, with many fish over 20. The number estimate of trout is somewhat smaller downriver, but in the 2012 season, sizes grew the farther downstream you went. Included in all of
this is the variety and color of the trout. Different strains of browns, rainbows, and cuttbows inhabit the river. There are not the numbers of cutthroat left, but mixing with the rainbows has supplied the river with an abundance of beautiful, varied-color cutthroat/rainbow hybrids.
