For September 29, 2024, if you're planning to head out to Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma, here's what you can expect:

First off, the lake's elevation is currently normal and stable, according to the latest reports from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The water temperature is around 78°F, and the water is stained, which is typical for this time of year. Sunrise today is at about 7:15 AM, and sunset will be around 7:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and evening fishing.

As for fish activity, largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass have been active. They've been biting well on crankbaits, jigs, spinnerbaits, and topwater lures, especially around coves, docks, points, and shorelines.

Catfish, including blue and channel catfish, have also been biting well. Use chicken liver, shad, or worms around the main lake and points for the best results.

Crappie fishing has been fair, with black and white crappie responding to hair jigs, tube jigs, and worms around brush structure, docks, and the main lake.

For hot spots, consider the areas around the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp and the coves near Tenkiller State Park. These areas tend to have a lot of structure that attracts bass and crappie.

Remember, crappie must be at least 10 inches long and you're limited to 15 per day. Also, be aware that gigs and spears are prohibited downstream of the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp.

Overall, Lake Tenkiller is offering some great fishing opportunities right now, so make sure to take advantage of the stable lake conditions and favorable weather.
