Stocker Trout Fishing News

Fished the Blue River Saturday and limited out with six! First four were straightforward catches using a White Near Deere under a strike indicator. Even did some catch and releasing fishing catching several more with the Near Deere. Then, the bite turned off and spend the remainder of the day struggling to catch two more Trout. After some time, was able to get a Trout to take a John Deere fishing fly. Trout were feeding on some thing hatching. Had lots of Trout turn and look away at different dry flies, emergers, midges… finally, got one to take a Midge Emerger! Did see several trout go for a black insect floating by that looked exactly like a Size 16 Black Gnat Midge. Guess what fishing fly was not in the fly box! Bottom-line: Had a great time on the Blue!

Fished the Blue yesterday. Caught three; took some work but still a great time! Fished the area by Highway 7 and caught two using a White Near Deere. Explored around and saw some nice spots! Afterwards, went to Hughes Crossing and managed to catch one more on a Black Midge. Had lots of surface activity; fish were feeding on something. Tried a Midge Emerger and had them take it several times but missed the hook set. Also, had two go for a Rainbow Warrior and missed them as well. Overall, was a really nice (warmer than normal) day to be on a river fishing!
