Man, that was great. I grew up in Dillon in the 70's and 80's and the Blue was my home water. I mainly fished below the Dillon lake dam before it got developed with factory stores etc. Had no need to drive way down to Green Mountain to get good fishing but wow, that place was great. The quality of fish in there along with the beauty was awesome to see. Also, we used to jump that cliff into the reservoir at 3:08. That was fun to see. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, it was a good day. Flows as of 07/22/20 are surprisingly hovering around 400cfs. That’s a great flow to wade fish it. Might have to head back in the next couple days.

Great video bud. I'd be so clumsy I'd fall right in haha. I haven't fished this section yet. It's on the list! Some beautiful rainbows!

Paul, thank you. I’m glad you’re enjoying our videos. As far as flies go, it really depends on the flows and time of year, but there is an abundance of caddis, BWOs, and stone flies. Grey RS2s, Graphic Caddis, and flashback pheasant tails will bring plenty of trout to the net during the spring months.

Very Well made Video. Thanks guys. Look forward to more..

I have been unaware of this section of the Blue River. The size of the fish is awesome. I'll be checking it out this summer.

13:18 about the Rollerskates and slick bowling balls!!!Wear felt with Teflon or aluminum or steel screws the best shoe for that river!!! Cabela’s has a great pair for under $100. Thick felt soul with aluminum screws!!! Go to Ace grab one of the screws from your boots and asked a salesman for the softest screw they have in that size and use that screw!!! you’ll never fall again in the Blue!!!

Awesome videos! Love seeing amazing Colorado places. What is your typical nymphing rig setup?

@CombatFlyFishing

3 жыл бұрын

Landon, it really depends on the flows, and the water I’m fishing, but for these tail waters I like to tight line nymph when the fish or the run is close or within wading distance, otherwise I use an indicator system if I have to cast any distance. -Tim

Awesome video I'm over here at work passing time. Would you recommend this area for mid March? Not from the area and I'm coming up for my brother in-laws birthday to do some euro nymphing. Not sure what would be best mid-march considering snow levels and accessibility. I would GREATLY appreciate any advice you are willing to share or even if there's a better river that's within 2 hours of Lakewood area to go to during Mid March. Please and thank you. Tight lines!!!

What time of the year is this?

Well, I use the same flies I use for any of the Colorado tailwaters. Beatis patterns like P-tails, RS2s, Barr's Emergers, and Chocolate Thunders in sizes 18-22 will bring a fair amount of trout to the net. Caddis patterns like the Graphic Caddis, Hair's Ear, and Bucksins will make for a fantastic attractor fly.

Food for thought on production, move the mic from your chest/chin when moving a lot. There is a lot of heavy breathing in the audio. Just trying to provide production criticism. Great fish!

To be fair you were no more than a mile to a mile and a quarter from the dam.... 3 miles and you'd be out of the canyon..
