About the River
The Blue River is not a big river, with most sections of it shallow enough for wading. With the close proximity to Lake Dillon, which provides a large percentage of water to the Front Range, the Blue typically sees very low flows. When the river actually rises to reasonable flows (200 to 1200 CFS), the river peaks for fishing. The Blue River is very clear and cold year-round, however, it doesn’t typically freeze in the winter.
Conditions
- Spring: Rainbow and Cutthroat trout are the stars of the show.
- Fall: Brown trout and freshwater salmon provide excellent fishing.
- Winter: Don’t overlook the potential for great catches even in colder months.
For the best results, start your fishing trip early in the day.
