About this listen
The Blue River fly fishing report below Dillon Dam is as technical and informative as it gets. This tailwater stays cold, ultra-clear, and highly selective all winter, creating one of Colorado’s most challenging but rewarding fisheries. In this episode, we break down flows, clarity, exact trout holding water, and what the tiny-fly game looks like right now.
We cover why the cold bottom-release flow shapes trout feeding behavior, how to approach the deep floodwall seams, and the simple adjustments that separate good days from frustrating ones on this stretch. You’ll learn what sizes matter most, why weight control is critical, and how to find success when the fish are inspecting every drift like a job interview.
Access points, rigging strategy, and the best midday window are all included. This is a must-listen for anglers preparing to fish the Blue in its most unforgiving season.
Updated conditions are based on current public flow data, weather patterns, hatch trends, and river structure through the Silverthorne corridor.
