Dang Fishers sorry you didn't get on the fish! That's a long pull for no fish!

I fished Broken Bow on Thursday and blanked out, didnt even see a fish on the finder. Great looking lake, standing timber up to 80 feet deep and clear. I did a little research before I went and found pics of nice stringers of blacks, I guess I hit at an off time. I talked to a few other fishermen, nobody had caught fish. One group had been there 2 days and had not caught any. On the way I passed over the Kiamichi arm of Hugo on highway 3 and it looked great, off color water and dead falls lining the river. It reminded me of the Poteau river on Wister. No doubt I would have been better off going there than Broken bow. It was 3 1/2 hours drive one way to B.B. but "only" 2 hours and 15 minutes to Hugo, for me that is less than Wister or Kaw.

I've heard this lake is purty.
IMO - prettiest in the state. I haven't fished it much winter, pre-spawn or spawn. I do usually try to get down there for a week or so in the Summer or Fall. I have had pretty good Crappie fishing during those times of the year. There was a video put out by ODWC a couple of years ago about summertime Crappie fishing there. It's well worth a trip if you have never made it there. The year round trout fishing is a bonus for those interested

I have spent several spring breaks below the dam with kiddos. Really nice fish! Easy limits, and I am not talking about those little stocker trout either. Reminds me a lot of southwest Colorado!

Thanks for the condolences Redge. I bet you would do good there. It reminded me of Tenkiller except deeper, clearer and more timber.
I like deep timber!!

Next time you go, look for pre spawn fish suspended in the channel in Linson Creek, and further up the lake where it narrows down.
