Blue River below Green Mtn. Res - 06/27/08

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 525cfs

CADDIS MADNESS!!!! We received reports of swarms of caddis below Green Mountain Reservoir and fish feeding everywhere! Unfortunately for wade fisherman, the flow coming out of Green Mountain doubled overnight. We haven't gotten any new reports on the fishing, but that much increase in flow will screw up the fishing for a little while. Look for when the flow levels out for a day or so and then give it a shot.

Recommended Flies: Tung Teasers, 20 inchers, Barr's stonefly, Wire stone, hotwire caddis, graphic caddis, buckskin caddis, San Juan worms, swing caddis, hot butt caddis, Tungsten Hare's Ear Olive, North Fork Special, Mighty Mite, PT Cruzers, Wilcox Caddis, Rip Cord Caddis, Tungsten Z wing Caddis, Hot wing caddis

A NOTE ABOUT FLOATING JURASSIC PARK: We have been fielding quite a few calls about floating Jurassic Park. We are strong advocates of boaters rights and want you all to have a good time down there. We are also happy to provide FISHING information, flies and other tackle for this area. We do not however, float this section of river comercially and therefore do not feel comfortable providing information about boating it. The only boating advice we do feel comfortable giving is that there are several obstacles in the river that require strong oarsmanship, and that safe flows vary from boater to boater.
