The two Blue River islands are not islands anymore. When they built the Cannelton Lock and Dam the islands eroded away. I almost got my boat stuck on the upper island last summer when the water was low. I usually fish Blue River or around the mouth of it. I've caught some small stripers and sauger there on rat-l-traps. Haven't had much luck with bass there. I've seen some guy's take some big catfish from the holes in the main river. Never tried it myself. Be careful if you try and launch at the ramp where the iron bridge is off of SR-62 on Blue River. I've launched there before but it can be tricky. I'd use the one in Leavenworth. A lot better. O'bannon is a great place to camp. Just don't camp in the back where the horse campground is. Gets kinda smelly if the wind is blowing the right way.
