What's working on Lake Texoma
- 01Clear skies and mild temperatures with a light north wind.
- 02Baitfish, particularly shad, are a dominant food source for predatory species.
- 03Subsurface patterns mimicking baitfish, leeches, and crustaceans are critical.
- 04Opportunity for opportunistic topwater action for bass and smaller stripers on warmer, calmer days.
- 05Striped bass are likely deeper on main lake points, humps, and submerged timber, or under diving birds.
- 06Crappie are schooling around submerged structure and ledges.
- 07Largemouth and smallmouth bass are holding on rocky points, submerged brush, and weed lines.
- 08Catfish will respond to bottom-mimicking patterns.
What to tie on at Denison Dam / North End
Picked from recent reports for this stretch.
Game Changer
Mimics larger baitfish like shad, which are abundant in Lake Texoma. This articulated streamer is excellent for targeting trophy stripers and other predatory species when stripped aggressively.
Buy at AmazonCrayfish (Fly)
Crayfish are a primary food source for bottom-dwelling species like catfish and crappie in rocky areas. Effective when dead-drifted or slowly crawled along the bottom.
Buy at AmazonHopper Juan
Mid-summer through early fall is prime terrestrial season. This hopper pattern will entice opportunistic crappie, catfish, and stripers feeding along grassy banks.
Buy at AmazonClouser Minnow (Chartreuse/White)
Explicitly recommended in lake knowledge and effectively imitates baitfish, a primary food source for freshwater stripers, especially when they're actively feeding or holding deeper.
Damsel Nymph (Olive)
Damsel nymphs become very active in late spring and early summer, making this pattern ideal for slowly stripping along weed beds where crappie and catfish actively forage.
Woolly Bugger (Olive)
A highly versatile streamer that imitates leeches and baitfish, both consistent food sources year-round. Effective for all target species, particularly when fished slowly along structure.
Crappie Jig Fly
Perfectly suited for crappie, which are moving to shallower waters for their spring spawn around structure. The bright colors will grab their attention.
Buy at AmazonWoolly Bugger (Black/Olive)
A versatile streamer that imitates both leeches and baitfish, making it an excellent all-around choice for stripers, bass, crappie, and even catfish. Strip it slow or jig it along the bottom.
Clouser Crayfish
Crayfish are a prime food source for bass in rocky areas. Strip this along rocky bottoms and structure to entice opportunistic largemouth and smallmouth.
