Fly Fishing the Blue River in Colorado - Is it Really THAT GOOD??

[@diggingthewest7981]

The Haydays of the great Blue River fishing days is past history, thanks to CDPW. Was fortunate enough to be fishing it hardcore in the 80s and 90s.

I’ve heard awesome stories from back in the day, wish I was able to experience myself! Same goes for the frying pan, taylor, and cheesman. Thanks for watching!

@xaviergonfishin Yeah, I feel bad for you, younger guys, but hopefully you can all work to return what once was. DOW in all their wisdom took out premier boulders just below the old wood Bridge decades ago. Those Boulders housed double-digit bows, and you got there before sunlight to beat other guys to those prime Boulder runs. They took em out and made that ridiculous channel. Then arctic char in Dillon to diminish the Mysis shrimp. Got nothing good to say about CDPW.

But it's still fun..

@@dankochanek8056 couldn’t agree more! I love the blue, thanks as always Dan 😎

[@dandymedia9448]

Just do a simple Dave Portnoy rating. I’d give the blue a 4.2. And that’s because chipotle is right there.

🤣🤣 I should definitely do that for a video!

There are much better places 60-90 minutes from Denver.

I definitely agree on that statement!! This might be a hot take, but I’d say clear creek is a better fishery 😬 but that’s my opinion, thanks for watching!!
