ya but it was first formed form the river

my uncle owns some property on okatibbee creek and he has about 10 oxbow lakes formed from the river years ago every 3 years or so during a bad flood it can overflow and new fish get in most of the oxbow lakes are just full of bluegill bowfin and gar every now and then ill catch a catfish if im lucky

oxbow lakes are super fun t fish though if u want bluegill and bullheads can always catch a mess since nobody fishes them besides birds in the summer
