Fly Fishing Heaven Over the years Blue River has seen an ever growing number of fly fishers presenting their flies on the waters. With six miles of meandering, forking waters full of structure in the form of granite and limestone formations, fallen logs, and boulders, Blue River presents a challenge to the best of the best fly fishers.
	Producing Flies Probably most flyfishers will agree that the Wooly Booger rules on the Blue. However, many of the old standards produce quite well also. Standards such as the Hare's Ear Nymph, Pheasant Tail Nymph, Zug Bugs, Olive Flashback Nymphs, and olive conehead mini leeches do quite well. Early in the season, egg flies do quite well. Fishing with dries is a little more difficult on Blue but Elk Hair Caddis and Griffits Gnats do quite well. Flies are available at Scotty's Blue River One Stop Fly Of The Week Check out our fly of the week at the Blue Blog.

	The Susan Latham-Shrader Award In memory of a fly fishers love. The Blue River Association is proud to announce the establishment of the Susan Latham-Shrader Award that will be presented for the first time at the trout derby in February 2004. The award will go to the fly fisher that weighs in the heaviest two day total stringer. The recipent of the award will have his or her name inscribed on the plaque to be displayed at Scotty's Blue River One Stop. The winner will also receive a 100.00 cash award. Susie was the wife of avid fly fisher Barry Shrader who is a member of the Blue River Fly Fishers group. Susie was also the aunt of Curtis Latham the head game ranger at Blue River. Susie's two brothers James and Charlie grew up spending time on Blue River and still fish Blue's waters to this day. Susie's sister-in-law Pat along with her grandchildren Forrest and Dalton Latham are also avid trout fishers. The family of Susan Latham-Shrader thanks the Blue River Association for such a distinction and asks that everyone continue to support the search for a cure for cancer. The family further asks that support be given to the Citizens for the Protection of the Arbuckle-Simpson Aquifer (CPASA).
