Fishing Reports For 2007

Fishing Reports 2006

Dec. 2. Debbie at MarVals Resort says river has been down mostly and the trout fishing has been good. White and chartreuse has been the color for the week.

Dec. 2. The river looks to have been down all week except Tues. and Wed. The best bet has been little bitsy flies, midges, and larger Wooley buggers. While you are there look for Sow bugs and let me know if you see any. Report submitted by Larry Clark, On The Fly.
Oct. 22. Zone 3 has been fishing the best. The area known as the Rock Garden down to Presbyterian Falls has been good. Report submitted by Sid and Peggy Beavers Bend Fly Shop.
Aug. 15. There has been very little fishing pressure during the week. The fishing seems to have improved slightly this week. The combination of less pressure and cooler temperatures have been a positive influence on the trout fishing. Our "Hex" hatch is continuing. Some folks have really had a blast fishing at night in total darkness. At least this weekend you should have some moonlight to work with, assuming there is not much cloud cover. Zone 2 and 3 have been fishable in the morning hours with generation typically beginning in the mid-afternoon. Of course this is subject to change. Keep an escape route planned at all times. Spillway creek is flowing at about 80 CFS and some folks find it impossible to fish, but the folks who learn to deal with the swift water are doing very well. Several nice brown trout have been caught and released in the "creek" lately. There are at least 3 species of mayflies hatching and a couple types of caddis. The fly selection has not changed since last week. A really good method of rigging is to fish with two flies. Report submitted by Sid and Peggy Beavers Bend Fly Shop

July 11. Best to fish very early or very late or fish at night because the heat has made fish inactive during the day. Use small mayfly imitations in early morning, terrestrials, hoppers, andts and beetles late in day. Streamers are best below major dams. Fishing also good on nymph, bouncing on the bottoms. July 11th is stocking day. Report submitted by Sid and Peggy Ingram, Beavers Bend Fly Shop

June 20. Flyfishers having success on dry flies and standard subsurface nymphs and emergers. Brown trout being caught and released on various dryflies. ODWC will stock 200,000 fingerling rainbow trout on Thursday, June 20, all three zones receiving 70,000 each. Very little water being released through powerhouse making zone 2 and 3 fishable. Report submitted by Sid and Peggy Ingram, Beavers Bend Fly Shop

June 5. The gauges were 6.28 at Tahlequah and 4.53 at Watts. The river is high after all the rains but expected to drop by the weekend. Ed Fite says to remember that alcohol and floating don't mix. With all changing water levels this Spring, there are still lots of obstructions that can be a danger. With the river high, fish the areas out of the main flow. Be prepared to fish all depths this time of the year. Try top water and deep water flies. Report submitted by Ed Fite Scenic Rivers Commission

April 28. White bass fair at mouth of Illinois and Arkansas river. Trout biting well with yellow and white power baits and on sow bugs, lemon squirrel, prince and olive mayfly. Report submitted by MarVal Resort

Feb. 18. Trout good on blue rooster tails. Trout were stocked on Feb. 13, 2003. Report submitted by MarVal Resort.
Jan. 7. Donny Locken and Ryan Murphy while tent camping for 3 days, caught 14 trout. Yellow power bait has been the most productive bait this past week, with orange running a close second. Jennifer Collins from Stilwell, OK caught a 3 14 lb. trout on yellow power bait. James Collins form Stilwell caught a 4 lb. trout on yellow power bait. Report submitted by Val Marcum at MarVal.

Oct. 18. Gauges were 2.23 at Tahlequah and 1.95 at Watts. The river is still a little low but the fishing has been great. The smallmouth have really been active as they get ready for winter. The fishing has been great! Be sure to call ahead if you need to rent a canoe from a outfitter. Report submitted by Larry Clark On The Fly Flyfishing Tahlequah.
Oct. 22. Cody Dollarhide, form Morrison, OK, 6 years old, caught his first trout on orange power bait. Several trout were caught this past weekend, though few limits were seen. Trout stocking should be on Thursday October 24, 2002, in the afternoon. Report submitted by Marval Rout Camp

Aug. 9. Larry Clark, On The Fly Flyfishing, Tahlequah : A lot of traffic on the river this week. Fish and float early or late to catch the bigger fish. Good bets now seems to be anything brown that has lots of action.Water temp. in the 80's. Scenic Rivers Commission gauge Friday was 2.64 at Tahlequah and 2.19 at Watts. (about the same as last week).

Generation closed due to flooding below. Blue catfish good on whole shad below Denison Dam around brush piles and rocks

Wewoka Creek: April 19th The sand bass Still running down here in Wetumka up Wewoka Creek. Nice fish reported some in the 3lb class !!!!!!! The fish are still full off eggs and males full of sperm, so it'll be good for a while.

Verdigris River: April 18th above Oologah Lake... Sandbass almost excellent up the river by the hundreds!.

Reminder that the limit on White bass is 20 per person from the
Caney River south of Oologah Dam, north throughout the lake and all its tributaries to the Kansas state line
