Colorado Tailwater Rainbows

Brian Strickland writes about the Blue, Yampa and Taylor River tailwaters, which are among the most productive rainbow fisheries in Colorado. “The first in this threesome is the fabled Blue River. Although its waters start atop the snowcapped Continental Divide and offer numerous public sections of freestone river to drift a fly through, it’s the tailwater below Dillon Reservoir that seems to draw most of the angler attention in the spring.” In Rocky Mountain Game and Fish.
