Thread: Oologah Archives

Fished Oologah yesterday out of Tallala. Started shallow to 20' in the standing timber and brush right out of the ramp. Very few fish showing and couldn't get a bite. Headed out to the main lake along the channel. Found a spot where the water was flowing south from the flow coming into the lake but the strong winds were blowing other currents to the north. There was a big ol eddy at a point jutting out and all the mayflies and scrum was just swirling around below that point. The fish were stacked up out of the current behind a large diameter sunken log at 12-15' right on the bottom. I could only get a fraction of the fish I was seeing on the finder to bite, but they may not have all been crappie that I was seeing. Picked up about 5 fish. Got bored of begging them to bite and worked my way back into Tallala cove fishing cover at that depth right along the bottom. The closer to the ramp, the less the bites. Ended up with ten from 12-13" like the pic and several shorts. Not a awful day but would have been better if I had moved farther out of the cove sooner.
