Blue River is stocked with trout!
Hey anglers! In this quick update, we're gearing up for the winter trout bite on the stunning Blue River in southern Oklahoma. With stocking season just around the corner (check ODWC for exact dates), I'll walk you through my must-have preps to hook into those feisty rainbows and browns. From lightweight setups that won't spook 'em to scent-packed baits that seal the deal—let's get you ready to reel!
Quick Prep Breakdown:
- Gear Essentials:** Grab a 5-6 wt fly rod with floating line and 4x leader for nymphing mop flies 3-4 ft deep, or stick to a simple spinning rod/reel with 4-6 lb test for powerbait rigs. Don't forget small hooks (#10-12) and a wading staff for those rocky bottoms!
- Bait & Lures:** Garlic-scented PowerBait or corn for beginners—irresistible! For fly folks, mop flies or woolly buggers in murky water. Pro tip: Match the hatch with small streamers when it's clear.
- Regulations & Etiquette:** One rod per person during trout season (Nov-Mar typically). Pack out trash, respect the "battle fishing" crowds, and watch water levels—wading's tricky in high flow.
- Pro Hacks:** Hit the upper stretches for less pressure, bundle up (it gets chilly!), and join local FB groups like Blue River OK All Trout Fishing for real-time reports.
