This week’s area fishing report.
Blue River: January 25. Elevation below normal, water 39 and clear. For current elevation conditions go to the U.S. Geological Survey website at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ok/nwis/uv?site_no=07332390. Rainbow trout excellent on midges, nymphs, PowerBait and spoons along creek channels, river channel and rocks. Silver and gold colored spoons have really produced well for fishermen this past week. Garlic scented PowerBait has caught more fish than non-scented PowerBait with green being the best color. Small nymphs and like the Walts worm, caddis and midges have caught plenty of fish for the fly fishermen and women as well. Fish seem to be a little spooky so make longer cast and fish a little deeper. Report submitted by Ethan Lovelace, technician at the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area.
