Made It To The Blue River Today!

Made it to the Blue River (Ok) today.  Caught a little Bass on a Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph.  Then, no strikes for awhile.  Switched to Wooley Buggers for a good portion of the morning with the same results - no strikes.

Went with Power Bait and caught two Trout!  Then, nothing again.  Cloudy water conditions made it tough but others were catching them.  Saw some nice stringers brought in to the Trout Derby's weigh station.  

Late afternoon/early evening started working a Gold Ribbed Hares Ear Nymph and finally caught a Trout on a fly.  Nice start to the 2011-2012 Season! Made even better when a trio of fisherman working a section less than 10 yards away hooked and landed a couple of Bruisers; larger of the two is posted in the picture below.  Nice to know they are lurking in the area!

Dry Spell....!

Been a tough go getting away from the "Salt Mines" to go fishing.  Even quick trips have been out of the question.  Hope to be out of this dry spell soon, especially with the Trout Stocking Season on the Blue River (Oklahoma) began earlier this week.

Gotta make it a point and get there for some river fishing for Trout!  Hope to see more Bruisers like the one below.  Was caught during last Season's Trout Derby held in November!
