We fish the Green fairly frequently. One of the key places to look to see what will be going on is the USGS website for the Greendale gauge, which is across from the boat ramp at the dam. You can see what BuRec is doing with the flow. Here is the URL:
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?09234500
They finished ramping down from 4300 cfs to an average 1600cfs flow. Unfortunately they are hitting the average by dropping to 850 cfs around 11pm, holding that for 6 hours then ramping up to 1800 cfs for 6 hours and then up to 2200 cfs for 6 hours, then back to 850 cfs. It averages out at 1600 cfs. What it does is causes about a 2 foot fluctuation in river level each day. They have also taken the temperature uf for 8.5 degrees C (47 degrees fahreheith) to 10.6 degrees C. which is 51 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Here is the URL for the Trout Creek Flies river report.

They post a report and update it on an irregular basis. Good information. The June 6th report indicates no cicadas yet. Maybe with some warming weather. We were over two weeks ago and there was no surface action in the two days we were there. Got all of our fish on streamers. The guides were getting all of theirs on nymphs fished very deep. Typical leaders looked to be 10 - 12 feet. Tells you the fish are on the bottom. Nymph deep and nymph small, or swing streamers - Goldilocks and olive wool sculpins worked for me.
Good luck.
