It is a bit off-color David. Our drought stricken state was finally blessed with some rain and the water is still a little high and silt laden but we are happy to have the moisture. A little cloudy water makes it easier to catch those spooky fish! The river runs through a part of the state where the geology is a mix of limestone, gypsum and granite... all three. The minerals give the water a deeper blue hue than is seen in other parts of the state. This is also one of our best winter Rainbow Trout fisheries.

Allen... you ever head that way, I would be happy to direct you to good spots or suggest flies or lures that have worked for me. Its a great place!

Thanks again for the comments Guys! We wet waded the whole day. it got pretty hot after lunch so we stood neck deep under a small waterfall for a little while to cool off. This was the Blue River in Johnston, Co, near Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Kinda on the line between south-central and south-east Oklahoma. About the farthest western natural edge of the Smallmouth's range in the state.

Right out of some story book. Talk about a picturesque spot.

What part of the world is this?

Indeed a nice spot to do some fishing. You either have knee height boots on, or sandals/shoes were pretty soggy.

Thanks Fellas.... we managed to pick the hottest day of the year (so far) to go. The water felt great though.
