Comment:	Much of the Blue River corridor from Swope Park up stream to the Kansas-Missouri state line (17 miles) is in public ownership, so if you're willing to walk a little, finding a fishing spot should be simple. Wade fishing opportunities exist from the Kansas state line at (Kenneth Road) downstream to Red Bridge. Most of this stretch is shallow, but deeper pools hold plenty of sunfish and an occasional channel catfish or largemouth bass. If you want to fish from a canoe or small boat, check out the 3 1/2 mile-stretch of river between Brown Athletic field (Blue Ridge Blvd.) and Holmes Road) and Red Bridge Road. A canoe launching area at Brown Athletic field provides good access to the river, especially during periods of moderately high flow. This area (especially the deeper holes between riffles) supports good numbers of channel catfish and carp. Largemouth bass, flathead catfish and crappie are not as abundant, but some quality size fish are caught from time to time. The upper reaches of the Blue River are ideal for floating when the river stage is between 6.0 and 8.0 feet at the Bannister Road gaging station.
