Blue river at silverthorne fishing report 1-1-2015

Fishing is great.  The water is clear and low so 6x or fluorocarbon is a must.  Fish the slower water close to the banks.  Not much insect movement above water, although trout rose occasionally.  Under the I-70 highway bypass, there is a great pocket.  Recommend nymphing using mysis schrimp and small red and black midge patterns.  If fish are active, use a small, dark colored streamer.

Fish hooked:  12
Fish landed: 7
Average: 17" rainbow
Nymphs: 16-18 Mercury midge, 18-20 red juju midge, 16-18 mysis schrimp, 6-8 olive scupzilla,
