Fishing Reports

We know that fishing in Oklahoma can be good nearly all year round but the peak time for most species and anglers is March to June, which is when we require reports to be submitted. If there is a particular lake you would like to know about during the non-required report time you can contact the county game warden or a local bait shop to check on the lake conditions before heading out.

Comments: Anglers are having some success catching white bass in coves with creek channels and along the river channel on the upper end of the lake. The white bass have not made it up to Horseshoe Bend in great numbers yet, but shouldn't be too far from doing so. Crappie fishing is good around brush in docks and the main lake. Boaters should use caution this week while out on Lake Tenkiller as the 2024 Bassmasters Classic Kayak Series Championship is taking place.
