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: Fishing is week continues to be good. Striper are biting very well on live bait. With the water temps cooling off it’s only a short time until deadsticking will start up. Catfish are biting well on live shad and cut bait near river channels and the moth if the river. Crappie are also good near docks with brush piles on jigs with garlic powerbait.
