About Blue River - Below Green Mountain Reservoir
The Green Mountain Tailwater on the Blue River, near Kremmling, Colorado, is a year-round fishery offering opportunities for medium-sized Rainbow and Brown Trout. While fishing can be challenging, the scenery is impressive, and the river opens up significantly below the reservoir, making wading an effective approach. Key hatches include Stoneflies and Mayflies, with Midge hatches also prevalent throughout the year. Access involves a steep 150-foot descent, requiring careful navigation, especially in winter conditions. Nymphing presentations behind rocks and riffles, along with dead-drifts in runs, are the most successful techniques for targeting larger trout in this tailwater section.
