The Blue Mesa is fishing great. Come fish the many tributaries that we are permitted to guide. Our backcountry lake program is unique and offers anglers the opportunity to fish difficult to access water in a very secluded environment. We access the feeder stream mouths by powerboat then step out and wade up the Lake Fork River, Cebolla Creek, and/or West Elk Creek. From our recent trips, the morning lake fishing for browns and rainbows has been the excellent. The many rock walls have hungry trout chasing down flies and lures. The tributaries are all clear and ready to be fished and the lake water temp is 60 degrees. Come with us and try something different!!
Flies - The current main food source is crayfish, baitfish, and midge larva with tributaries providing some insects being washed in. Brown Buggers #4-8, Brown Krystal Bugger #4-8, Olive Buggers #4-8, Black Zonker #6-10, Crayfish, Clousers, muddlers, Perch Fly, and Trout Angels. The creeks are currently offering excellent dry fly fishing.
Below : 4/28/09 A fat Blue Mesa rainbow caught up a tributary. The moving water of the many feeders provides great habitat that is rarely hit by flyfishers and accessable only by boat. This is a very unique experience, come fish with us and we will share it with you!
