Help Protect Lake Texoma from Invasive Species
Bighead and silver carp were first brought to the U.S. in 1973 and have since overtaken many Mississippi River drainage waterways. Anglers can help protect Lake Texoma waters from invasive species by not releasing carp back into the water and reporting bighead and silver carp catches to the Oklahoma Wildlife Department or the Texas Wildlife Department.
