With many rivers rising or many reservoirs releasing water in anticipation of the spring run off; the best fishing has been found locally on the Blue River through the town of Silverthorne.
We have been having great success on a Mysis shrimp pattern (Scimpy Scampi Mysis) that we custom tied for us. Use the the Scimpy Scampi as an attractor and then try Stalcup's midge larvae in black or red as the dropper. We have also been having success with San Juan Worms, Pheasant tails and more!
The Blue north of Silverthorne has also been fishing good; but no Mysis. Here you can use larger mayfly nymphs, caddis and Stonefly patterns. Maybe even throw a streamer.
The Blue from Dillon up to Breckenridge is also fishing decent; with the report of some Blue Wing Olive hatches.
