This river, like many, can give you a different situation each day. Even though the Lower Mountain Fork is the most magnificent trout fishery we have in Oklahoma, I've always believed that Blue presents the bigger challenge of the two. The reason is Blue is half as small as the the LMF and twice the pressured, of the two, during winter. And, then there is the geography of this river... pocket, after pocket, after pocket. Don't forget the nymphs, the soft hackles, and streamers early. This river can be a riddle. Bring the midges, the Adams, and even the EHC.. just in case. There is no set answer.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602307576524360674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-38052850788518621102011-12-16T19:13:43.207-08:002011-12-16T19:13:43.207-08:00Thanks for the information!

Or, you can buy a five day, but, you have to buy the Wildlife Passport too. So, the cheapest way is the annual non resident fishing license and being it is the end of the year, you will be better served to wait until January 1, 2012Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602307576524360674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-17421631040092600032011-12-16T10:07:45.820-08:002011-12-16T10:07:45.820-08:00JW Hopefully it will clear by then, but, if not th...JW Hopefully it will clear by then, but, if not then big and dark is a good strategy.Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10602307576524360674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-56782570093352244142011-12-16T09:04:06.434-08:002011-12-16T09:04:06.434-08:00Question from a Texan for you guys.

I realize this is undesirable for your river.<br /><br />GreggGregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02623587945737239141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9006067737542850060.post-34076039121175049532011-12-15T14:59:19.231-08:002011-12-15T14:59:19.231-08:00BE BACK SOON TO SLAY EM UP!!BE BACK SOON TO SLAY EM UP!!trout slayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176923745933967580noreply@blogger.com
