Current Lake Texoma Fishing Reports for Texas and Oklahoma
Texas Parks & Wildlife Lake Texoma Fishing Report | March 5, 2026
There will be a brief pause in weekly fishing reports from TPWD. We are working hard to bring you the best Lake Texoma Fishing information and will resume our TPWD reports as quickly as possible. The most recent report from February 25th is below.
Stripers are good but the bite can be hit-or-miss. The primary action is on structure in 10-30 feet of water with swimbaits, or Alabama rigs. Bigger fish can be caught in the middle under the birds deadsticking flukes or using swimbaits. The bite is tough while high winds persist. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Stripers are mostly suspended in deep water with the big wads of bait 50-70 feet of water. Glow and chartreuse Flukes or swimbaits are working on the right day, and live bait will start to produce as well. Fish are still on structure as well as off main lake points and humps in 10-20 feet of water near the ends of the lake where the water is warmest. Catfish are cruising under the bait in deep water and starting to move up shallow in creeks and coves looking for warm water. Drifting with whole gizzard shad or cut rough fish in 30-50 feet of water. Crappie are moving up near creeks and on structures in 10-15 feet of water. Fish are scattered and in small bunches, the further west or north you go on the lake you’ll find dirtier and warmer water. Bass are moving to spawning areas and gorging on the large amount of bait in the lake. Main lake points with stumps or rocks in 8-12 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service.

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.
