Green Mtn Rez Tailwater of Blue 03Jul13

Till the freestones subside I love tailwaters. When in Silverthorne during summer I don't fight crowds on the Dillon Rez tailwater of the Blue, I head north to the 2nd great tailwater of the Blue... the effluent of the Green Mtn Rez. Mayfly nymphs led by stonefly nymphs were the combo that yielded these 17" trout. The river yields about 1/2 brown and 50% rainbow or so and has great bugs in the afternoon. Most productive fly was a black ice mayfly nymph this day... a number were taken without the spooky indicator. This is a fierce canyon lined by a goat path so get ready to work it if you go... you know from the start as a the entry trail is steep and sketchy. If you find my tippet let me know... jostling around dislodged my holder from my vest and I lost a bunch of fluorocarbon.
