In writing up the detailed information on the Blue River in Colorado and researching the Dillon Reservoir, I can not help but mention the Elk Hair Caddis fly which was invented by Al Troth. Al is a very famous Montana guide and fly tier who lives in Dillon, Colorado. Click here to hear from Al via Youtube.

When you are fishing a trout stream by working upstream and not seeing or spooking any trout you might be following another angler. Look for clues like pockets of still muddy water, or wet boot prints on rocks, or boot prints in the sand. If you see these clues, or if you do happen to catch up to someone who is fishing slower, leave the water immediately and go much further up the stream before re-entering. Walk at least as far as you could fish that stream in an hour, leaving them plenty of undisturbed water.
