Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

Congrats on catching those Trout ..Not a challenge really and could care less about those farm fishees..

I have a buddy who works at the Ranch, he said the access down the way from his property at the BLM is now Jones and the Upper section is swapping as well...not much left to fish now thanks to the idiot owner of BVR!

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

I think he made his views on the fed fish pretty clear...no need to be a jerk about it...dawg

Congrats on catching Farm Fed Pellet Trout Reall challenge and you should be very proud. I think I use to go to pellet farms when I was 12 to catch fish like that....not a challenge and could care less about those farm fish..

wow, can you read or just write, he stated pretty clearly about how he feels about catching the lazy pellet fed fish.still nice picture of a pretty damn big fish. pesco you get points in my book for being up front and honest about your feelings about catching those fish. you are the man, i think that TD might be a bit jeolous, i don't see any that big in his pics. : i'd like to have my pic with a fish that size regardless of where i caught it, that is bigger than any trout that i have ever caught.maybe you should edit your post so you don't look like such a hater.

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

Dawg, go back and read what I wrote just so you can see how stupid you look.

Heres some more farm fead pellet fish for ya from some other little piggy farms that are so damn easy to fish

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

I did read what he said and to each his own, he seems to be a good fisherman ans did mention that it was somewhat of a joke, not knockin that, I just "stated" that I prefer not to fish pellet fish. I have fished on the property, as well as Three Forks Ranch, Boxwood, and many other ranches across the country (for free I would never pay for that) etc

Not getting pissy just stating that Jones Property is a joke and so are the fish there

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

I really don't like private water...I've guided it, but I can't say I've ever fished it myself standing on shore.

if you guys are talking about that black and white 'whiper' thats actually a true striper I cought this spring in TN. that would be one hell of a whiper though. The one above that is a wiper.

those fish were all cought on a fly within the last year...shoot I wouldn't know how to do it any other way. I haven't cought a fish on conventional tackle since... as long as I can remember. To be honest, I'd probably be pretty lousy at it. Not that I have anything against spin gear, the fly rod is what I naturally relate fishing too. If a buddy calls and says hey lets go fish, it means we're fly fishing.

To me it's easier...When I see a guy floating down the colorado with a spin rod on a sunny day I think sucks to be him. I naturally think throwing a rapala would be like trying to bring up a lot of fish with a streamer on a sunny day--it just doesn't happen. With the fly rod I know it could be 100 degrees bright and sunny, 2 in the afternoon and I could nymph up some fish no problem. The spin guy doesn't have that luxury. So to the spin guy that can still get it done all day long--I tip my hat to you. If you can catch fish on the Pan with a lure of some sort--impressive. But when it comes to bass and pike...advantage spin guy. Its a hell of a lot easier to cover depth, and you don't have to double haul 90 feet of line for eight hours! Thats probably why I enjoy the alternative species so much--its challenging.

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

Pescada, I hired your buddy (top pic) to float me and a buddy from Edwards to Wolcott because I heard it was a crazy float. I didnt think it was all that bad and have since rowed it a few times during higher water. Anyway if that is him he was a cool guy and a good guide. If I remember he was from back east, graduated from Penn state maybe??

Good report. I agree with you 100 percent on the stockers, in fact I feel the same way with some rainbow sitting in the toilet bowl eating Mysis all day. To me a 10 pound trout is some wild brown in a freestone river that worked his way to that size. That is what I am after and what I will feel the most accomplisment with.

Thanks for the report and the info. I am leaving tomorrow to work the c section heavily with some big streamers and hopefully have a chance at some big fish. I will report when I get back.

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

There is a lot of information I enjoyed in this thread.

Good pics of the lazy bastards.

A lot of this is new to me..so bare with me please.
Who the hell is Mr. Jones?
Whats with the Jurassic Park thing?
What is the BVR in relation to the BLM (Bureau of Land Mgt.)
How exactly are fish fed pellets in a large section of river such as this? I mean...its big...deep..remote-ish..do they just sit in the pools and not swim....?-how do they get lazy, i mean?
Again..new type of info im reading today.
To "Guide" what kind of requirements doesthat entail?
I mean, Ive taken people into the woods for days who dont camp and to places they didnt know exhisted...but Im no guide.

At any rate; awesome thread! Killer piggies...that Bow in the middle all those pics?...Killer Coloring!
Love It!

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

1. Jones is the guy that owns a large part of the blue river and has the finances to build structure in the river and deal with whatever fines are given to him without blinking an eye.
2. It's called jurrasic park partly because the fish are dinosaurs and it just has an eery feeling when you float through their.
3. BVR--Im not sure
4. There are these pellet feeders that disperse chunks of food all over the river
5. I wouldnt say they are lazy--just not educated. They have easy food coming at them all day and not a lot of pressure. Fish like this get trained to just eat
6. To guide and make money off public land, you need to be permitted and pay dues to whoever regulates the particular piece of land--blm, forest service, state park, city county

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

bvr is the blue valley ranch. another player in that cluster eff.

funny thread and i could care less about the fish in the river as well but for a skilled rower it's a nice getaway not far from denver. i miss the days of fight club rules on the LB.

1st rule of Fight Club...don't talk about Fight Club. 8)

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

So..I'm gussing tubing that section of river is out of the question... ;D

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

BVR = Blue Valley Ranch = 48,000 Acres = Paul Tudor Jones (owner with more money than all of us on this forum put together) I think he made $750 million in 2006, so the guy can basically do whatever the f he wants.

So, everyone going down there now, you have all the info you need. Get there early cuz the bus of 60 people won't be far behind.

Devilish post Pescado!!

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

I found the BVR while exploring just two weeks ago. Sure is a pretty looking section of river they have right there at their ranch. You can tell it's manmade though, but it still looks nice.

I'm assuming he is the owner of the Tudor mansion?

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

Jones is an Azz and wants to own every part of the Blue River if possible, what a jerk! Have fun floating this section..a few tips for you:

1) Float above 1,000 cfs (the avg it's been lately) and prepare to gouge your boat by the spikes he has on his bridges pointing downward, that is if you can actually float beneath them
2) Float it below 500 cfs and good luck getting over the many wiers he has, if you get stuck or get out of the boat and touch the bottom he can have you charged with tresspassing, and possibly jailed (yes he has done that)
3) The flows change everyday so you better make sure you view it that day otherwise it can go from 1000 to 300 or 300 to 1000 in a day
4) He has cameras, security guys and knows the sheriff so get ready to pay if you screw up floating in this Maze of Pellet fish.

Just go below the Green Mtn Dam, follow the trail for some nice brown runs this Fall, much easier than going through the rafting mess, and not as time consuming.

Yes I have floated, fished and know people at the BVR & BLM so I keep up with what's what....good luck

Re: Jurassic Park of the Blue pics added

can't say of the five or so times Ive floated it I 've ever noticed spikes or wire in the water??? Bottom line if you get stuck--boater in distress. If his guys came out while I was pinned on a rock pulling my boat off I'd tell them to kiss my ass. Now if your pinned up to fish...differant story.
