 Updated: January 25, 2026This week, the Blue River below Dillon Dam is on the lean side for winter flows, but still fishable if you adjust your tactics. Flows are low for a tailwater, and water temperatures are cold — both factors that concentrate fish into predictable winter seams and feeding windows.The pace is slow and deliberate; trout are present but selective. This is winter nymphing at its finest. (Data from USGS streamgage #09050700)Flow (CFS): ~54 cubic feet per second (latest instantaneous stage ~53.9 cfs) Water Temperature: ~2.5 °C (~36.5 °F) around Jan 25, 2026 Air Temperature: Expect low-to-mid 20s to mid-30s (based on weather patterns for Summit County)Clarity: Clear to very clear (typical for the winter tailwater)Crowds: Light to moderate near developed access points (Silverthorne / Dillon)Best Window: 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (midday warmth & insect activity)Fishing Type Focus: Winter nymphing — midges, mysis-focused subsurface tactics Winter weather around Summit County remains cold, with strong overnight freezes and muted daytime warming. Calm, sunny days near or above freezing are the best for triggering midge activity and trout response.
