Kaw: August 20. Elevation
3 ft. above normal, water 85, and muddy. Striped bass hybrids, striped bass, and white bass good on crankbaits, jigs, live bait, live shad, minnows, shad, and topwater lures below the dam, around the main lake, points, rocks, and bridges. Crappie good on jigs, minnows, and tube jigs around brush structure, coves, rip-rap, rocks, and standing timber. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish good on cut bait, grasshoppers, live shad, punch bait, and stinkbait around creek channels, flats, and shallows. Thermocline is set at 14-16 ft. currently. This means if fish go below that line (they do for short periods to feed and cool off) they run out of oxygen quickly. If you set jugs or trotlines deeper than that you will be pulling off dead fish. Please exercise common sense and set your lines shallow or tend them continuously. The fishing is good; it’s a good time to go. Let’s not waste our valuable resources! Report submitted by Spencer Grace, game warden stationed in Kay County.
Sooner: August 18. Elevation normal, water murky. Largemouth bass fair on plastics and topwater lures around weed beds. Blue catfish fair on cut bait around flats and main lake. White bass fair on crankbaits and lipless baits around coves. Report submitted by Stephen Paul, game warden stationed in Noble County.
