Colorado and Utah

are two places I've driven through a few times but ( excepting the Green )
never fished


Suggestions of destinations if I decide to do some exploring 'down south'
this summer? include links, if possible, so I can more effectively drool
over pictures and such as I research

the blue river, in dillon, colo. i fished it in mid july several years
ago, and caught more fish than my recent sojurn to the madison. easier to
wade, as well.
i was successful with small royal trudes, and some very small black and
white midge stuff bought locally. the water that comes out of the dam, in
midtown dillon, is the coldest i have ever experienced.
there is also a very small, remote brookie stream near there, called "4
mile creek", iirc, that was chocablock full of 6-9'" wild fish.
good luck.

Two places that come to mind:

Blue River from Dillon Res. north. Plenty of good access north of
Dillon. Small mysis patterns fished deep work up toward the dam.

Clear Creek along I-70 and U.S. 6. Along U.S. 6 below Idaho Springs try
zebra nymphs and pheasant tails. Some reasonable access along U.S. 6.
You won't be alone on Clear Creek.

If you are comming up from the south into Utah . . . I seem to
remember Fish Creek, a very small but very productive water. And then
there is the Spanish Fork, South of Provo city. And if you get that
far North, the Provo River of course. Even as far down as Redford's
place its good, but I liked it up into the Heber Valley in
particular.

My favorites are upper Yampa (above Steamboat down to Hayden), White
River and some of the lakes in the Flattops Wilderness, you already
mentioned the Green, and I also like the Blue (however in many access
areas you are right on highway which I don't care for). Some of the
Flattops area lakes open up very late.

If your route goes thru the Uintah Basin, you also might check out
Strawberry and perhaps consider some of the FFing in the High Uintah
Mountains. Or head South and not see Area 51(?) :-)) Or does it have
another number?

Now that I think about it, I have fished some in the Uintah Range while
running field trials, we'd based in Park City once and the town in the SW
corner of Wyoming ( drawing a blank for a name ) a couple times .... but
stopping to fish a couple hours while on business, simply ain't really
fishin' ... imho

..... although often I might only fish an hour or two when I have no
schedule to meet, Having to check watches and meet a schedule is almost the
opposite of why I fish.

I remember one small lake, just into Utah that had so many scuds it was
unreal ... you could see big fish cruising, but I couldn't interest them ...
they had only to open their mouths for another bite of shrimp, why mess with
steel and feathers?

If I told you I would have to kill you but I have no problem showing you
in person.
