More Info




Fort Washita was constructed in the 1800s as an armed post of the United States. The undertaking of Fort Washita was to guard the Chickasaw & Choctaw people from the Plains Indians. Fort Washita functioned through 1865 and stands currently as a historic site and gallery where guests can study what life was like previously and through the Civil War.

Fort Washita gives guests the prospect to discover the restored buildings, see Civil War reforms, and experience an annual Fur Trade Era Rendezvous, which takes guests on an expedition of the historical past through informative stations, narrations and more.

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.76 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is good fishing live bait along ledges and flats in 25-50 feet of water watching for schooling fish and birds working. Swimbaits and slabs are working along the banks early in the morning as well. Crappie are slow on jigs and minnows fishing brush piles in 15-25 feet of water. Fish are roaming near creeks and coves chasing small shad. Bass are slow on topwaters early along the bluffs and soft plastics in the backs of the coves midday. Fish off the banks in 10-15 feet of water midday using electronics to see active fish and bait. Catfishing is great using cut shad and punch bait in 10-20 feet of water on humps near the dam and down the bluffs. Small channel catfish and blue catfish are filling the coolers. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Stripers are good with slabs fishing under the smaller topwater fish in 30-60 feet of water in the middle of the lake. Some anglers are landing catches with live bait and trolling. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
