As of November 9, 2024, Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities. The lake's elevation is currently about 0.5 feet below normal and stable, with the water temperature at around 72°F and the water clarity being clear.

For today, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 68°F and a low of 50°F, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

Fish activity has been good, especially for largemouth bass, spotted bass, and crappie. Yesterday, anglers reported catching largemouth and spotted bass using crankbaits, plastic baits, and spinnerbaits around brush structures, channels, and points. Crappie were fair on hair jigs, minnows, and tube jigs near brush structures and docks. Catfish, including blue, channel, and flathead, were active on cut bait, live bait, and shad in the channels and river flats.

For the best results, use crankbaits, plastic baits, and spinnerbaits for bass. For crappie, hair jigs and minnows are your best bet. If you're after catfish, cut bait and live bait are recommended.

Some hot spots to consider are the areas around the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp and the main lake points. The rocky bluffs and outcroppings along the shoreline also provide excellent habitats for various fish species. Additionally, the tailwaters below the dam are known for their cool water and are popular for trout fishing year-round.

Remember to check the daily and size limits, especially for crappie which must be at least 10 inches and have a daily limit of 15 combined. Enjoy your day on Lake Tenkiller
