Flyfishing on the Blue River The Blue River is quality freestone and tail-water fishery consisting of brown, brook, and the enormous rainbow trout found below Dillon Reservoir. Beautiful pools, deep runs, and classic riffles characterize the river from Dillon Reservoir to Green Mountain Reservoir. Boulders, bends, and depressions in the river bottom account for the variety of seams and excellent holding habitat for the trout. The river averages from 80-100 feet across, flowing through the Gore Mountains to the Colorado River near Kremmling. This "Gold Medal" fishery provides a good food source and consistent quality hatches. From Breckenridge to Silverthorne, above Dillon Reservoir, is a freestone fishery. Below the Reservoir, is a tail-water fishery where monster trout feast on the thousands of mysis shrimp spilling out of dam. Keep in mind that fish caught in the town of Silverthorne must be released immediately. Please check restrictions before going out. Colorado Highway 9 runs parallel to the river all the way to Kremmling, which provides ample access to this fine fishery. Several National Forest easements, clearly marked by Division of Wildlife signs, access the river. Quality angling can be found all the way to where the Blue meets the Colorado River.
