Arbuckle: November 30. Elevation 1 1/3 ft. below normal, water 60 and clear. White bass good on CC spoons off ledges. Bass fair to good on spinnerbaits, Alabama rigs, Ned rigs, drop-shot and shaky worms.
Most bass being caught are small. Crappie good jigging spoons on ledges and slow around docks. Report submitted by Jack Melton.
Blue River: November 30. Elevation normal, water 48 and clear. Rainbow trout good on in-line spinnerbaits, midges, nymphs and PowerBait along channels, river channel and rocks.
Peach and pale green garlic scented PowerBait has been the bait of choice for bait fishermen. Egg patterns along with flies that have rubber legs have been the top producers recently for fly-fishermen and women. There has been a hatch going on in the late afternoon to produce some action on dry flies and emergers.
When fishing with lures and bait make sure you are using light line, 4-6 pound test. The clear water makes it super easy for the fish to see fishing line and leaders, so I would recommend downsizing.
Report submitted by Ethan Lovelace, technician at the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area.
