What Makes Lake Texoma Unique?
Lake Texoma Size & Location
Lake Texoma is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States, located on the border between Texas and Oklahoma. It covers over 89,000 acres and has around 580 miles of shoreline, making it a popular destination for boating, fishing, and other water activities. And yes, the striper fishing ain't bad either...
Lake Texoma Fishing
Lake Texoma is known for its excellent fishing opportunities, especially for striped bass or “stripers”.. The lake is one of the few places in the world where Stripers reproduce naturally, leading to a thriving fishery. Most know this lake as the “Striper Capital of the World”. People also come to Lake Texoma to catch other species such as catfish, crappie, large and smallmouth bass, long-nose gar and white bass (also knows as sandbass).
Recreation on the Lake
The lake offers a wide range of recreational opportunities, including boating, water skiing, swimming, camping, hiking, and birdwatching. There are numerous parks, marinas, campgrounds and public hunting areas around the lake, making it a popular destination for people who love the outdoors.
Wildlife in the Area
Lake Texoma and its surrounding areas are home to a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, hogs, bobcats, bald eagles, and various species of birds. The lake is also a stopover point for migratory birds, making it a great spot for birdwatching or bird hunting.
Hydropower
Lake Texoma serves as a reservoir for the Denison Dam, which generates hydroelectric power for the region. The dam was built in the 1940s as part of the Flood Control Act of 1938 and has since provided both flood control and power generation benefits.
Cost
Lake Texoma is also one of the most affordable lakes to fish on. You do not need an out of state fishing license. You only need a $12 Lake Texoma permit, which is good for the year.
Overall, Lake Texoma's combination of size, location, recreational opportunities, fisheries, and wildlife make it a unique and popular destination for visitors from both Texas and Oklahoma.

What is it like Fishing Stripers on Lake Texoma?
There is nothing like being in a school of striper that is feeding aggressively. There are many days when you can’t even get the bait down before a fish tries to get it.
Stripers not only feed aggressively but they also fight just as aggressively. Often, a small fish can put up a good fight. There are so many strong currents throughout the lake which in turn makes the striper that much stronger. I often tell customers that outside of lakes up north, fishing for striper in Lake Texoma is the closest you can get to saltwater fishing in freshwater.
There is nothing more exciting than your hook setting into a strong fish that immediately starts pulling the line out! That is classic Lake Texoma striper fishing to the core...
