Tips and Other Information:
Flows are perfect right now below Dillon Dam. Fishing has been productive with conventional tailwater patterns—small mayflies and midges. Productive nymphs include: #22 Black Beauties, #22 WD 50’s, #22 Mercury Blood Midges, #22 Mercury Pheasant Tails, egg patterns, Mysis Shrimp, and San Juan Worms. Fishing on the lower river is really starting to pick up. Some of the parking facilities (i.e. Blue River SWA) the road access is still “snowed in”. The river is currently clear throughout its entirety. If the river starts to change clarity, fish a Pink San Juan Worm dropped with a Mercury Caddis.

Effective Patterns: : #20-22 Mercury Red Pheasant Tail, #22 WD 50, #20-22 Mercury Flashback Pheasant Tail, #18 Mysis Shrimp, #16 Hot Tail Flash Egg, #16 Pink San Juan Worm, #16 Mercury Caddis, #22 Mercury Midge, #22 Brassies, #22 Benton’s Shuckin Midge, #22 Jujubee Midge, #22 Rojo Midge, #20-22 Cannon’s Snowshoe Midge Cluster, #20-22 Mathew’s Sparkle Duns, #20-22 Cannon’s Snowshoe Duns, and #20-24 Parachute Adams.Buy these flies online
