Thread: Wister Lake

EB, I haven't even made it out of the river yet! Its been so good every time. One of these days I will have to venture into that channel that snakes through the lake. I was surprised at how shallow most of the lake is looking at it on the nav maps. That channel has to be a fish magnet, now that I think about it winter may be the best time to fish it.

The fishing on wister is awsome from now till after the spawn. Catchin them from 12-14 foot over 18-21 oot of water. Lots ofbig fish,i was culling by 11 am sat big fish was a 1.70 and had several over 1.50 . The bigger fish are on the drops to the middle. I conside my home lake the crappie capital of oklhoma. Sunday we only caught 26 but i was fighting the wind,sleet and snow. The water looks great in poteau and the fourch. I will try to log on more often to answer or respond to any questions.

Slab Daddy it would be great if you would post up more often, I really like the looks of Wister!

I second that. Haven't fished it in 50 years but grew up in Heavener and spent lots of time on it as a teenager. Keep the reports coming - I plan on hitting it this year!

What redge said x2!!! I've not been to wister yet, but it's on my to do list for this year. So I'll be watching this thread for any tips and info on the lake.

My buddy had 45 last Saturday fishing by himself! Had 7 over 1.60lbs. EB

Eb do you fish the main lake much?

Yes in the spring and summer! The lake is shallower than the rivers, but the fish are just as big! EB
