Fishing in Oklahoma
The McCurtain County area of Southeast Oklahoma is famous for its fishing!
From world class fly fishing to trophy big bass we are a fisherman’s
paradise. Whether you enjoy wading a clear mountain stream or skimming across
a deep, vast lake you will find it nearby.
The lower Mountain Fork River offers truly world class fly fishing with over 14 miles of prime trout habitat including 3.8 miles of trophy section where boats and barbed hooks are banned.
Broken Bow Lake may be the most scenic lake in Oklahoma. Cold, deep and clear this lake offers 180 miles of shoreline, almost all of it in a natural state surrounded by pine forests. This lake is famous for black bass fishing along with largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass.
FLW Outdoors Magazine named Broken Bow Lake as one of its top bass fisheries
in America!
Part of what they wrote:
Broken Bow Lake
Tucked neatly away in the foothills of the majestic Ouachita
Mountains of far southeastern Oklahoma lies one of that state's best-kept secrets:
Broken Bow Lake. With its crystal-clear water and numerous islands, the 14,200-acre
gem is rapidly becoming one of the better-known smallmouth-bass fisheries in
the region.
With the impoundment of the Mountain Fork River, which is known for an abundant population of native Ouachita-strain smallmouths, it was merely a matter of time before this lake exploded into a bronzeback angler's dream come true.
Broken Bow is one of Oklahoma's deepest lakes, with some areas reaching 140 feet, and its shoreline consists of mostly steep, rocky banks cradling clean, clear water - the perfect recipe for smallmouth bass to thrive and reproduce year after year.
The McCurtain County area also offers other rivers, streams
and lakes
offering unique fishing opportunities.
You’ll need more than a few trips here to explore them all!
