Lake Texoma

Lake Texoma sits in Oklahoma, United States and offers the kind of structure-driven reservoir fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Lake Texoma come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Striped bass

  Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.

• For Largemouth bass

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Blue catfish

  Target areas with current breaks and structure, like submerged timber or ledges, as blue catfish often ambush prey in these locations. Use a fish finder to locate schools of baitfish, as blue catfish are likely to be nearby.
