Best places to fish in Lake Texoma

27 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Lake Texoma straddles the Oklahoma-Texas line on the Red River, and it is one of the few reservoirs anywhere where striped bass spawn and sustain themselves without stocking - which means fast striper action nearly every month of the year. Guides chase them with live shad, topwater on summer mornings when fish herd bait to the surface, and slabs jigged over winter schools stacked on humps and channel edges. Sand bass, the scrappy white bass, run in huge numbers and make for easy limits and great trips with kids. Trophy blue catfish are the other headliner, prowling the deep flats and river channel and pushing well past 50 pounds. Most trips launch from ramps around the lake near Mill Creek, Little Mineral and the dam. The guides below are ranked by Google review volume and rating.

FAQ

Fishing in Lake Texoma - common questions

How much does a fishing guide cost in Lake Texoma? +

Striper guides on Lake Texoma generally charge about $350-$600 per trip, set by the length of the day and whether you book a shared seat or a private boat, with larger groups and full days at the high end. Confirm the price, party size and what is included with the operator before booking.

Why is Lake Texoma known for striped bass? +

Texoma is one of very few US lakes where striped bass reproduce naturally in the river arms and sustain their own population without stocking, so the lake stays loaded with stripers and you can catch them year-round. Ask your guide which pattern - live bait, topwater or jigging slabs - fits the season you are fishing.

Are Texoma trips good for families and kids? +

Yes. Beyond stripers, the lake is packed with sand bass, or white bass, that bite fast and often, making for high-action trips that keep kids busy, and many guides run half-days aimed at families. Trophy blue catfish are there too if you want a big-fish challenge. Ask the operator about a family-friendly trip.
