Here is the fishing fly that produced for us recently on the Blue River in Oklahoma. Tried various fishing flies before settling on the Near Deere. Trout were taking both olive and white with the key factor being the presentation and retrieve - short pull retrieves! Do give it a try!

| Else, try a Wooley Bugger |
Decided to tie a Wooley Bugger to my @GoFish Cam several seasons back, and then "troll" it in a shallow side creek to the main channel of the Blue River. Was surprised how many trout were in the less than knee deep water as well as some that were near my feet! Step lightly when wade fishing!
Here is a follow-up fishing video that describes five fly fishing presentations that have worked well for us when trout fishing in Oklahoma – specifically, the Blue River, Broken Bow (also known as the Lower Mountain Fork), and Turner Falls.
The five fly fishing presentations are:
– Upstream
– Upstream 45 degrees
– Cross Stream
– Downstream 45 degrees
– Downstream
Of note, one must continue to maintain a drag free drift to ensure the fishing fly mimics a natural moving “bug”.
PS: Video includes one more presentation that is a variation of several them.
