Fly Fishing The Blue River Oklahoma
The Blue River is a 140 mile long tributary of the Red River located in southern, Oklahoma. A small portion is a designated a “put-n-take” stocked trout area. It is best during the coldest part of the year. It is well stocked by the state and fun to fish.
The trout season at the Blue River generally runs from about the first of November through the 31st of March. The season is short because the summer water temperatures become too warm to support trout. There’s just over six miles of the Blue River that flows through the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area that is stocked.
Fly fishing the Blue River is relatively easy. The river can be easily accessed from either side and fished from the bank or by wading anglers. This trout stream is located about eleven miles northeast of Tishomingo Oklahoma.
This spring-fed river is beautiful with many waterfalls and plunges that flow over granite boulders. Pools of clear water lie between the plunges. A special ten dollar permit is required to fish for trout.
There are several walk-in areas where anglers can get find some solitude. Two miles of trail follows the river.
The stream is surrounded by woods. Blue River Campground is located on the river in the Carl R. and Ruth Walker Landrum Wilderness Area. Vehicles are not allowed in this area. There are also some primitive campsites in the area.
