Blue River (below Green Mountain Reservoir) - River is running low, slow and clear, but fishing is only fair. Anglers say there are too many bugs competing with their flies: caddis, PMDs, grasshoppers and Blue Wing Olives on cloudy days. Use #14-16 Elk Hair Caddis, a #10 Joe's Hopper or #18-20 BWO. The tailwater beneath the dam is subject to periodic security closures. There are three other public accesses on BLM land downriver to the confluence with the Colorado, but they are narrow and anglers are warned to stay off adjoining private property.

Blue River (Dillon to Green Mtn. Res.) - The flow from Dillon Reservior remains clear at 52 cfs. The best action in Silverthorne is nymphing with #22-24 midge larva. Unsettled weather has produced some good action on BWO, Midge and small Caddis dries. If you fish downriver from Silverthorne, the closer to Green Mountain Reservoir the better. Good Caddis action in the afternoons and evenings and look for Green Drakes to start showing soon.
