Colorado Stream Update: Winter conditions has arrived
Current Conditions at Blue River Below Dillon:
The Blue through Silverton has been tough on anglers this year. As we move through winter, fishing continues to be finicky. A good nymph-rig fished through deep holding water is your best bet to find an eat. Patterns like leeches, worms, and soft hackle flies are great point offerings. Trail a more selective pattern such as a Mysis or bling midge. Some fish have been picked up on rainbow warriors, RS2s and two-bits as well.
It is getting closer to winter and the fish are turning on to the midges again. Try fishing a Money Midge (size 18-22) for best results. The crowds on the local tail waters are beginning to die down as the weather gets cooler. The water is low and clear and the sight fishing is very good, make sure you have a quality pair of polarized glasses. The fishing is fair. Clear skies and 48-51 degree weather. The water temperature was between 36-39 degrees and Crystal Clear.
