The Oklahoma Fishing Trail
Whether you are a seasoned pro or just picked up your first rod, Oklahoma’s waters are calling. With more than 200 lakes and over one million surface acres of water, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the possibilities. That is where the Oklahoma Fishing Trail comes in! This curated resource is designed to help you explore the state’s most unique fishing opportunities.
This trail is a team effort between the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) and the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. To make your planning easier, fisheries biologists hand-picked 38 premier lakes organized into six easy-to-follow loops. Whether you are looking for trophy largemouth bass in the northeastern loop, crappie at Lake Eufaula, or the prehistoric Paddlefish in the Grand River system, the trail points the way. If you are looking for something nearby, the trail also features 20 "Close to Home" fishing experiences.
Beyond the catch, your hobby helps protect our natural resources. Funding for wildlife conservation in Oklahoma comes directly from an excise tax on fishing-related items and fishing license revenue.
