About this listen
This week’s Blue River fly fishing report below Green Mountain Reservoir focuses on one of Colorado’s most dependable winter tailwaters. With stable bottom-release flows, deep canyon structure, and excellent clarity, this section fishes well when many freestones lock up. This episode breaks down how trout are holding, where they’re feeding, and what flies are moving fish right now.
We examine current flow levels, detailed trout positioning in canyon slots and soft edges, and the predictable but limited midday feeding window. You’ll hear why subtle presentations matter even more here than below Dillon Dam and how the mix of depth changes, seams, and slow inside bends creates ideal winter habitat.
We also cover tactical rigging, fly selection, and exact types of water to prioritize during colder weeks. This is a technical river, and this episode gives you the specific adjustments necessary to fish it successfully.
Updated with real public flow data, weather patterns, hatch notes, and winter-specific access considerations for the canyon stretch.
