Canton is suppose to be pretty good but it is so low right now that it's tough to get a boat in.
Canton, Hefner, Sardis and the Arkansas River near Illinois River inflow for Walleye - maybe more I'm not aware of. There are several good lakes for Saugeye - Sooner, Thunderbird, Ft Cobb are just a few I know. Check DOW for the lakes they stock Saugeye in.
Supposed to be in Broken Bow and the Lower Mountain Fork below the lake.

:biggrin
That's right - forgot about there. The state record came from Lower Mountain Fork.
Thunderbird for saugeye for sure
A long drive from Kansas but Tom Steed lake in SW Okla is a very good walleye lake. It is very low right now but launching is easy thanks to the park people. It is also a very good lake for crappie and hybrid striped bass.
Hefner is ok in the spring if you go at the right time there's decent walleye there if you know where and how to get them out
I've caught one good walleye at Kaw, but Broken Bow is full of em.
Thanks for all the info.....i appreciate it
Kaw used to be good saugeye lake. The massive floods in the late 90's sent most of them over the gates. Not under but over. The water level was 2' below the road that goes over the dam. People that lived below the dam were evacuated for 30 miles down stream. Its never been the same since.Quote:

Scott, at the dock or on the lake a Shawnee?
Sorry, was told at the enclosed dock at Shawnee.
Me and my fishing buddies have all caught Walleye below the Kaw dam when the water is running. I have caught several there, and a few in the Verdigris river, including a nice 7 pounder. All were caught on jigs while crappie fishing.
Lake Carl Blackwell is full of Saugeye. Several get caught at the fish house by crappie anglers, but there are several guys who target Saugeye only and get good fish.
I've caught a few below Ft Gibson Dam bottom fishing with minnows.
For many years I have heard that Lake Hudson has a good population.
Lower Illinois River at the mouth where it hits the Arkansas River / Navigation Channel south of Webber Falls is also a good spot for Saugeye!
I would call the ODWC and get some recent shocking statistics info instead of our lies and conjecture :-)
Great weather for going after them right now and water temp is right! Good Luck!
