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: Fishing this week has been tough for Striper. The bite has been slow due, pretty much slows way down after 10am. Striper are biting on live shad, trolling arigs and using slabs. There is also some topwater action around Washita point at daylight. Catfish are biting on punch bait around baited holes pretty well. Crappie are being caught near brush piles and logs in 15-20ft of water really well right now.
