Fly Fishing the Blue - 8/7/2010

Not a whole lot to tell on this trip. I have fished the Blue River a number of times, and while I have heard plenty of stories about pulling out some nice fish, I have still been unable confirm those accounts. Many of my trips there have been riddled with high water conditions or just a plain lack of luck regardless of the flies, areas, or techniques attempted. It certainly is a challenging area to master! We did catch a few, mostly smaller browns running nymphing rigs, however; all was not lost. Matt and I managed to catch a few absentee fishing Green Mountain Reservoir and on the last day of the trip, we stopped by a pond just outside of Silverthorne and managed to snag some larger rainbows on spinners. Either way, we had a great time!
