Blue River below Green Mtn. Res - 08/23/09

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 907cfs

Unfortunately, the water is back up in the canyon. However, the flow has been hovering around 907 for about five days now. This being said, the fish have likely settled and reestablished their feeding lanes. Be careful wading!

Float fishing has improved with the latest release of water from the damn...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.
