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: Bass are holding on summer structure in 12–20 feet of water around brush piles, standing timber, rocky points, and the dam. The bite is slow, but anglers are catching fish by working football jigs, Texas-rigged worms, deep-diving crankbaits, and Alabama rigs. Fish early in the morning or late in the evening for the best chance at success.
