Blue River in Silverthorne - 01/31/12

Guides Rating: Guides Rating of 3 Stars
Streamflow at time of report: 75cfs

With the recent warm weather the water temps in town have inched up a bit. Although the fishing has slowed somewhat over the past few days, fishing remains quite good. Keep in mind that many of the fish in town have become very indicator shy so if you aren't doing well try no indicator or use a very small neutral colored indicator(i.e. White, Black or olive). Mysis Shrimp--especially within 1/2 mile of the dam, San Juan Worms, and thin dark (and red) midge larva are producing good to excellent results.

Try: Mysis Shrimp (Epoxy Patterns seem best), UV Midges (#26-#22), Brown Bling Midges (#20-26), Red Disco Midges (#26-#20), San Juan Worms, Black Beauties (#26-#22), Captain Hooks, Tan Chamois Worm, Red Copper Johns, Egg Patterns, JuJu Baetis, Barr's Emergers, Zebra Midges, Smaller Pheasant Tails and other BWO style Nymphs.
