Snorkeling in Oklahoma?! + Trout Fishing + Winter Striper Fishing Secrets 🐟

Описание: Did you know Oklahoma has crystal-clear streams perfect for snorkeling? In this episode of Outdoor Oklahoma, we dive into the Ozark streams of the northeast, chase rainbow trout in the Blue River, and reveal the best technique for landing massive Striped Bass on Lake Texoma during the winter!

🎣 IN THIS EPISODE:

1. Snorkeling the Ozarks: We travel to the northeastern tip of the state to explore the clear, cold, spring-fed streams of the Ozarks. Join us as we meet Maddie, a fish enthusiast and 8th grader with incredible knowledge of native species. We suit up in wetsuits to get face-to-face with Stone Rollers, Hog Suckers, Smallmouth Bass, and the colorful Greenside Darter. It’s a rare look at the underwater world of Oklahoma’s biodiversity.

2. Blue River Trout Fishing: We head south-central to the Blue River Public Hunting and Fishing Area, just 6 miles east and 3 miles north of Tishomingo. Known for its winter trout stocking, this area offers 1.75 miles of stream access perfect for families and anglers. We discuss the best bait—from Super Dupers and spinners to corn and salmon eggs—to help you limit out this season.

3. Winter Stripers on Lake Texoma: Winter is arguably the best time to catch a personal best Striper on Texoma. We demonstrate the "Dead Sticking" technique—using large soft plastic flukes on 1-2 oz jig heads and letting the boat drift do the work. Learn why you should look for seagulls to find active schools and how to target the upper river arms for the biggest fish.
