Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area

11/07/2025

Catch and release fish have NOT been stocked yet but since the cable is down we wanted to update our signs. We have put 3 of these signs at the base of the catch and release, so if you move past the signs going upstream then you are in a restricted zone. Please consult the regulations for special regulations for this area.

Stay tuned to this page for when we do stock the catch and release area. We do not release stocking schedules as there are too many variables and dates could likely change.

Area 1 is open and ready for everyone. Please come out and see the improvements on the area. Remember if you pack it in you can pack it out. We have 5 dumpsters on the area that can handle tons of trash, so please use them.

I would also like to take a minute and introduce the newest member of team Blue River. Dwain came on for us at the beginning of the month and has an awesome work ethic and tons of equipment knowledge that is going to help us out tremendously. Dwain grew up in the area and has fished Blue River most of his life. If you are visiting and see him out and about please stop and welcome him.

Area 1 update
We have received and installed the new culvert, but still have plenty of work to do on the other side of it. We will be working on the road, campsites, moving downed trees, mowing, and just getting things back in shape. This could take up to another month or so.

We plan to open the slab or crossing up later this week or the beginning of next week depending on weather.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and are looking forward to having everything opened back up for you to use.

Even though the Area 1 gate may be open this week and weeks to come the area is still closed. Staff are starting the cleanup and repairs of the large culvert on Area 1 this week. Please stay out so we are able to work efficiently and without interruption. Thanks for everyone’s patience with this project, we hope to have it back open within the next 2 months.
