I will be taking a family ski trip March 18-23 and we will be staying in the Silverthorne area. While reading my Fly Fish America magazine I noticed that the Blue River was listed as one of the best winter trout streams and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on fly patterns. I have read alot about Mysis Shrimp. Would a scud be a good pattern for these? I am also trying to decide if i should bring my 4 or 6 weight rod. Do you guys know of any other streams close by that would be worth checking out. This is my first time fishing in colorado and any suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Austin
