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 (Mar. 19)

FAIR. Water stained; 52 degrees; 2.56 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing will improve with warmer nights and longer days. Live bait is working on deep flats and river ledges, swimbaits are working under active birds and on structures in 20-30 feet of water. Fish are towards the ends of the lake. Crappie are moving towards brush and rocks in the muddy creeks and coves. Jigs and minnows will produce catches on the right day. Bass will become more active as the water temperature creep into the 60s. Look for fish to move on stumps and structure. Soft plastics and slow presentations are still producing bites. Catfishing remains tough but fish are being caught on the main lake in deeper water on cut shad and whole shad. Marinas full of bait will produce fish in deep water as well. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass bite is tough while fish start to transition to tributaries to spawn. Fish can be caught on structure with swimbaits and Alabama rigs. There is a live bait bite in deep water. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
