Blue River below Green Mtn. Res - 07/31/09

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 4 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 923cfs

Although the water just came up today, the fishing has been unreal down there! I fished it on Wednesday, and the drakes were everywhere! Wait a couple days for the flow to drop again, and it should be easier to wade. If you aren't afraid of big water, FISH IT with care.

Float fishing has been incredible with the water coming down a bit...expect to find clear water in the canyon and for things to get progressively more off color. Fishing big bugs should help remedy this.

Float Flies: Butt Monkey, Stacked Blonde, Zoo Cougar, Sex Dungeon, Beldar, Conehead Madonna, Shagadellic, Fat Bastard, Glimmer Stone, Rubberleg Stones, Tung CDC Prince....... Big Stuff....

Wading Recommendations: Hunchback Green Drake, Tung Teaser, Tungsten Prince, Tungsten Copper John, Barr's Pure Midge Larva Black and Red, JuJuBee Zebra and Red, JuJu Baetis, BTS olive, Disco Midge Red, WD40.

Dries: Green Drakes in all flavors, hoppers
