Lake Texoma Flooding Now? Can it Be True?




Two weeks ago I posted that Lake Texoma was within one inch of full pool, and I expressed concern that it wouldn't last, due to use of lake water by municipalities and power concerns.

Silly me! Today is Sunday, May 10th (Mother's Day) and Lake Texoma is up 5 feet since my post two weeks ago. It's going to go 'way over 622 today because it's still raining here and over the watershed.

I'm not making any forecasts today, but I am posting photos and a warning - call ahead before bringing your boat to the lake this week or next weekend. More rain is predicted in the coming week, and some boat ramps are already closed.

Oh, and bring your rain gear!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 63 degrees; 1.32 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on live shad in 30-40 feet of water on main lake points and ledges. Top waters working early around rocky banks, be on the lookout for white birds on the banks early. It will only get better as the striper finish their spawn and the shad start theirs. Crappie fishing is good on brush piles using jigs in 14-18 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish roaming and sticking the brush. Monkeys milk and mo glo colors working the best. Bass fishing is good on top waters early and swim baits off the banks late morning. Live shad producing numbers and big spawned out fish along the bluffs. Catfish are fair on cut shad and prepared baits anchored in 40-50 feet of water in creek channels and near ledges. Look along the rocks for blues and channels spawning and looking for shad. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are good on topwater along the bank early in the morning. Watch for egrets and seagulls. Then switch to sassy shad 4 inch glo on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad continue to spawn. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
