Oklahoma lake roundup: 4 lakes, warmest Lake Texoma at 65°F
Our weekly look at 4 Oklahoma lakes: which are warmest and coolest, which levels are moving, and where the bite looks best.
From 57°F on Grand Lake up to 65°F on Lake Texoma: that is the range across Oklahoma's lakes this week.
Levels are falling on Lake Eufaula; rising on Lake Texoma.
A spread like this means the same week can fish very differently from one lake to the next, so pick the lake to match the fish you want.
Tomorrow's bite rates good on every one of them, so pick by the fish you want and the drive.
Lake Texoma is the warmest lake we follow in Oklahoma on the latest readings.
Grand Lake is the coolest, 8°F behind Lake Texoma.
Falling: Lake Eufaula.
Rising: Lake Texoma.
Good or better tomorrow: Grand Lake, Lake Eufaula, Lake Tenkiller and Lake Texoma.
Warmest to coolest
The chart ranks the lakes by surface temperature on the latest clear readings. Warmer lakes keep the fall feed going longer; cooler ones are further along toward winter patterns.
The lakes this week
Grand Lake is at 57°F, and its level is steady. Target crappie: brush piles and docks in 8 to 15 ft.
Lake Eufaula is at 59°F, and its level is falling, 2.6 ft below normal. Largemouth bass are the pick. They chase baitfish into creeks and coves.
On Lake Tenkiller the water is 59°F. Target striped bass: watch for birds and surface feeding.
Lake Texoma reads 65°F at the surface, and its level is rising, 0.9 ft above normal after a 2.3-ft rise over 29 days. Target catfish: evenings and nights are best.
Biggest level changes
On a falling reservoir, fish slide toward points and channel edges and short ramps can end in mud; on a rising one, fish push into fresh flooded cover.
- Lake Texoma: 2.3 ft up in 29 days
