Blue River in Silverthorne - 08/09/08

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 116cfs

The flows have dropped again coming out of Dillon, and along with the flows so have the water temps. Fishing through Silverthorne has moved back to the midges and mysis, with caddis drys taking a few fish in the afternoons. Green Drake Drys might still take a few fish...

Fishing from Silverthorne down to Green Mountain has remained consistent. People are still reporting catching fish on Drake drys, but the hatch is over for the most part. There are still caddis coming off throughout the day, with the majority of the hatch occuring in the afternoon. Nymphing in the morning and waiting for risers before putting on dry flys.
