Thread: Lake Hefner

Can anyone give me some good tips as far as location, baits and what not for catching walleye at hefner in March from a boat or on the bank????

went fishing at hefner today....got a late start and did not show up till a little before noon...had the lake to myself for a bit....no wind, no clouds, and lots of sun...i knew it....fish never bite when its nice out!!!! I fished until 4 or so without so much as a bite...about 14 boats on the water when i left....it was a great day for a boat ride, thats about it.

You can catch walleye at hefner right now, just work your bait slow and along the rocks.

I generally use tube jigs to catch them, the same I use for crappie fishing. The key is working your bait as slow as possible and about 1 to 2 inches off the bottom of the rocks.

If you are not getting hang ups, then you are not doing it right. I generally get hang up in the rocks when I fish for walleye, but I sometimes able to bend the hook and get my bait back.

Good luck..

I heard that the crappie have moved from 32' up to 25' on the dam.

Have people been catching fish off the dam at hefner? I haven't been to hefner in a week or better, wanting to go fishin thursday just dont know whether i'll hit hefner or t-bird, longmier in pauls valley is also in the mix. Anyone heard any reports for longmier?

hey hotrod....go to thunderbird for sure....hefner is doing nothing right now

Went to Hefner today around 3:30pm and fish till 5:30pm.

I caught only 1 walleye and no crappie. My dad did not get a single bite.

Maybe they are in deeper water, but I do know for sure this winter season has not been good at Hefner. I may have to start thinking about fishing other lakes like Canton or others.

Well, that is the report I hope it helps to save you guys time and fuel.

That doesn't really suprise me at all...seems like hefner is the last lake I fish that seems to do anything at all...and when it does I usually only catch dinks....but, it is close and if I am going to get skunked I would rather do it for under a gallon of gas...lol
