River: Blue River (Below Green Mtn Res)
1st Blue River Float Trip of the Season!
Post By: Vitesse304      Posted: 6/25/2012 11:34:42 AM     Points: 538    
1st float down the Blue! Take-out was busy, but we only saw 1 other boat on the water. That boat said the fishing was slow...but we had a good day!

Fishing is good, lots of food in the water, so fish are picky. Water is a bit off color so bigger and brighter flies will bring fish to the net.

When we got to the take out, we were probably the 2nd group out. Still, there were 7 trailers in the lot, and we saw another boat just make it through the upper canyon at 2:30.

Busy day on the river!!!

Nice bows V-- Are there any rapids that would be scary in a 1-man pontoon?? I floated the Colo from Radium to State Bridge with no problems--even Yarmony-- Thanks for the report. Tightlines

@ Vinne

You really can't float it in a 1 man toon. This is class 2-3 water. The diversions can get pretty big...

Also, you would never be able to fish! You'd be spending all your time rowing. All the land is private so you can't pull over and get out and fish.

Much better to find a friend with a raft or a 2/3 person toon to make this trip.
