Trout in
Oklahoma?
|
|||
|
Yes! Oklahoma has two
introduced species of trout — rainbows and browns, with rainbow trout
being far more abundant. Rainbow trout are native to the cold streams west
of the Continental Divide but have been introduced here and elsewhere. The
brown, or German brown trout is originally from Europe. Browns are stocked
periodically in the Mountain Fork River below Broken Bow Lake and in the
Illinois River below Lake Tenkiller. Rainbows are stocked approximately
every two weeks at all eight of the state’s trout areas during the
designated trout seasons.
Large trout are not yet commonplace in Oklahoma trout areas although "bragging" size fish are occasionally landed. When heading to one of Oklahoma's trout areas be sure to brush up on the regulations. |
