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.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Oct. 9)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.74 feet below pool. Striper fishing is excellent on live shad. Look at ledges and flats in 25-40 feet of water for schools of fish roaming. A fluorocarbon leader is a must, and downsize with the clearer water. Start watching for fog in the backs of coves and topwaters along those banks for bigger fish. Crappie are still slower, with fish remaining inactive due to the warmer temps. Focus on brush and structure near coves and main lake points in 12-20 feet of water. Bass are fair on shallow-water crankbaits and A-rigs along the bluffs early, and near docks late. Expect fish to start moving up near docks and creeks. Catfishing is great, with blues still being found on flats and ledges in 30-50 feet of water, and channels on humps in 15-25 feet of water on prepared baits. Start checking deep flats 40-50 feet of water for big fish, as the thermocline goes away and lake turnover ends. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Fishing patterns are holding steady and the lake is turning over creating tough fishing conditions. Stripers are fair on the flats in 30 feet of water or deeper with live bait. The artificial bite is slow. Very little surface action for a topwater bite. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
