Oklahoma
7,703 named waters · 0 stocked in the last 30 days
Lake Texoma, straddling the Oklahoma-Texas border, holds one of the best striped bass fisheries in the country in a lake that isn't connected to the ocean at all. Grand Lake and the state's other reservoirs carry strong largemouth and smallmouth bass fisheries across a state with more shoreline than its landlocked reputation suggests.
Oklahoma holds 7,703 fishable waters on the books. ODWC has logged 119 stockings in the last year, led by channel catfish. The biggest water in the state is Eufaula Lake at 100,734 acres.
