Camping & Fishing at Green Mnt. Reservoir

greenmountainreservoir.com

Went camping and fishing with Jason Hayes, Michael Martin and friends at Green Mountain Reservoir. There are incredible views of the Gore Range at Green Mountain, in fact, the 40 acres of land that I wish to purchase is only a few minutes from the reservoir. We fly-fished for brown, rainbow and cutt-throat trout. I caught 14 assorted trout during 3 hours of fishing in the reservoir and 2 rainbows and 2 browns (each at least 16 inches) from the Blue River later that afternoon. Too much fun! All fish were released.

GREEN MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR
is located in north central Colorado in the Lower Blue River Valley. Approximately 70 miles west of Denver and 20 miles north of I-70. Built in 1943 as part of the Big Thompson Plan. Its primary purpose is to replace water that is being diverted to the front range. The spin-off effects is what attracts many visitors each year. WATER SPORTS and MOUNTAIN ACTIVITIES.
