Keiryu 39 – Blue The Blue River is a beautiful mountain stream born near the Continental Divide. Fed by Colorado snowmelt, it flows through two reservoirs before eventually joining the Colorado River. The Upper Blue is smaller, tighter, and exactly the kind of water where a 12.8 ft Keiryu rod shines. Longer than a typical […]
