Fly Fishing Areas
How is fishing on the Blue River above Dillon Reservoir near Breckenridge, CO?
I am looking for fly fishing in the region in July. Does the blue trout take the tank? What's Swan River, which feeds?
Recently, the Washington State Council FFF Fly Tying Expo that won the bid and a book entitled "The Colorado Fishing Guide" by Chuck Fothergill & Bob Sterling. This seems a very good book full of cards information and more. You may want to go looking for yourself. Your question gave me a good excuse to look at the book. According to the book, the river above Dillon Reservoir provides fishing for a short distance and fly fishing is more effective. Only about 20 feet wide and brown and rainbow trout. You can fish from the entry above 2 1 / 2 miles of the highway bridge. After that, all the way to Breckenridge, the river is privately owned. There are several types of insects, so there are many flies to use as possible. Caddisflies and ephemeral hatching throughout the summer and Stonefly hatches are some good, but nymphing is the best use of Stonefly patterns. Caddisflies and ephemeral in sizes # 14 and # 16 are best. Stonefly imitations here are not as large as many rivers with size # 8 to # 12 being common. A 5 or 6 Rod is just what you need, and use floating lines. Possible Flies: Dries: BWO Green Drake & size # 12 and # 14, Elk Hair Caddis in the organs of olive, tan or black. Try also Adams, Humpy, Wulff Gray in the same sizes. Nymphs: Re Zug, in Hare's Ear # 13 to # 18, Pearl single stone Stone # 12 Brown Hackle Peacock in # 12 and # 16. You can also try Hornberger, Woolly Buggers, leaching methods, Spruce Fly, Zonker and Matukas. Terrestrials: Beetles and hoppers in August. The book was anything on the Swan. They have – a great moment. Larry
