Lake Texoma Fishing & Information Table

Lake Texoma is famous for its striped bass, or striper fishing. Stripers were introduced into the lake in 1969 and have flourished ever since. Texoma is one of the few lakes in the United States where stripers reproduce; most lakes with stripers have to be restocked.

Stripers can be caught on Lake Texoma all year round, using either live shad or artificial lures, depending on the season. Threadfin and gizzard shad, the primary forage of the striper, are readily available in the lake.

Fishing is also excellent for black bass, sand bass, crappie, bluegill and giant catfish. Professional fishing guide services guarantee an exciting trip and a good catch. Lake Texoma attracts the largest number of visitors of all the Corps of Engineers lakes west of the Mississippi River.
