Broken Bow Lake: Depth of Possibilities 

Twenty-two miles of scenic deep, crystalline water, surrounded by grand rocky bluffs, Broken Bow Lake has so many fantastic fishing opportunities. Many enthusiastic anglers return to Broken Bow year after year to reel in all sorts of fish—from walleye, crappie, channel and flathead catfish, and spotted bass. Down in the lake’s tailwater area, anglers come from all over the country to try their hand at trophy rainbow and brown trout. Going fishing with your kids? No worries! State wildlife officials annually stock trout at many locations along the lake to ensure that all anglers, novice or professional, have a chance to catch these lovely fish. Stop on by Broken Bow Lake and see for yourself what’s biting in its breathtaking clear waters. 

Glover River: A Hidden Gem

This little fishing hideaway provides all folks looking for some distanced fishing fun away from crowds of people. Glover River is hidden away in a lush forested area. It is a prime location for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, sunfish, and channel catfish. If you want to take a break from fishing, you can also kayak and raft on the whitewater rapids. Some folks love wade fishing in the protected areas during the summer months. Glover River is also the county’s only free-flowing river. You can bask in the spacious outdoors and have easy access to some lovely fish species! Since this river is tucked away, make sure you come prepared with your fishing gear. Tip: Use wooly bugger flies as they mimic many of the baitfish and insects in the area. 

Mountain Fork River: Fly Fisherman’s Dream 

Flowing through the vast Beavers Bend State Park, Mountain Fork River is a trout lover’s paradise! You will find year-round steadily flowing water where brown and rainbow trout swim about, ready for your fly fishing adventure. It is a top destination for trout anglers in Oklahoma. The crystal clear water, surrounded by tree-covered hills, features fast whitewater channels and areas of more still water. Given the compact nature of the river, you will be able to move around until you find the perfect trout jackpot. If you are new to fly fishing, local fishing business Beavers Bend Fly Shop offers guided trips to Lower Mountain Fork River. They will even provide you with all the necessary equipment: fly rods, reels, and tackle.
