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.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 4)

FAIR. Water stained; 74 degrees; 12.08 feet above pool. Catfishing is still excellent using punch bait along rock banks for channel cats in 15-25 feet of water. Cut shad and whole shad on ledges in 30-45 feet of water for keeper blues and look for bigger fish in shallow creeks and coves. Striper fishing is very inconsistent with the current lake conditions. Top waters, swimbaits and live shad on humps and flats in 20-25 feet of water fishing any clear water you can find. Look for the lake to clear once they turn down the outflow. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are hit-or-miss with slabs in 15-30 feet of water, with a better bite on live bait. Midlake to the dam water is clearing. Very little floating debris left on the lake. Channel catfish can be targeted around big rocks and drop-offs in 20-30 feet of water cut bait. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
