- In this video, I'm Fly Fishing the Lower Mountain Fork River in Oklahoma. It's an awesome tailwater full of huge rainbow trout and monster brown trout! It's one of my favorites to visit during the winter when the tailwaters in Arkansas are high and unwadable. The Lower Mountain fork River in Oklahoma is unique, it still has wadable water even when they generate because the first 4-5 miles are feed from the spillway. It's a cool fishery that is worth a visit. Next stop, the San Juan River in New Mexico...subscribe and follow along as I visit more destinations in 2020.

Love it! Looking forward to more videos in 2020!
Thx brother, hopefully you can make it into a few with me!
That is a great place to be and to fish. Take care, greetings from Ireland.
Definitely, thanks for checking in!
Awesome video man! Ready for this summer heat to die down so i can get back out on the streams!
Same here, looking forward to cooler temps and rising water levels!
That was awesome.. They were all pretty good looking trout
Thanks Ralph, definitely a good trip!
I have went Mountain Fork. I swear I’m not lying
Good deal!
👍
I am heading down there this weekend and I cannot wait. Thank you for the awesome video!
Not me, never on a weekend but good luck!
@@LooknFishy heading down tomorrow morning so hopefully I can beat the crowds 😅.
My wife and I may possibly be moving from Colorado to OK, this video gives me hope!
Well, depending on where in OK you have the White, Norfork and many small spring creeks in MO also!
Drew LooknFishy good to know!! Thanks!
Enjoyed it 👍
Thx dude!
Awesome Video!
Thanks dude, got plenty more on the way!
I'm headed there tomorrow for my first FF trip. Is this a bad / crowded time of the year?
Great video as well!
Definitely will be some people as it's almost resort like in the summer but maybe not so bad since school as started back. Either way, it's a good place to start!
Great video. I’m headed there for a trip in a couple days. Can you share what flies were working best for you?
Thx dude, small stuff...rs2's and midges mostly.
Cool 😎. Didn’t realize Oklahoma had fly fishing like that . Is it stocked and managed by the Cherokee? I fly fish a lot in Cherokee NC they stock up there .
Nope, just the state!
Drew LooknFishy ok 👌 thanks
Ha, the Cherokees won’t spend “their” money if it gets to be enjoyed by non Cherokees. By “their” money I mean US Taxpayer money. Tribes in OK are full of greed and want taxpayer money to cover all their needs.
Don't know if you fished there back in the day but looks like it's coming back.
I did, was actually there they opened the gates and destroyed the river. Just started going back in the last couple years...great option when AR tailwaters are releasing water in the winter.
I'm headed there next week my 1st time any recommendations spots and what to fish. (fly fishing ) thanks
Never been in the summer, but small flies (baetis and midges) are what I'd start with first. Also some small dries in natural colors. Be prepared for crowds!
Hello Drew - I took up FF this year at age 66 - been driving from Dallas to Brok Bow every other week the past month. Having a blast - I want to fish zone 2 and 3 this time. Staying for 3 days solo :-). What bridge is that in your pic with the big bow - looks like a nice spot. Anywhere you suggest in zone 2 or 3?
That's awesome, welcome to the addiction! I pretty much stay above hickory cg in the catch and release area where I can sight fish. Below the dam can be good too just be aware of the generation schedule.
We went there on 2016
Awesome!
Awesome! What campground did you stay at?
The state park, hickory campground...fyi, you have to reserve sites online now.
Drew LooknFishy thanks!
This will be my second time going to beavers bend it was crowded the first time and I wasn’t able to catch anything I’m going to try and find some new spots for Late November I’m also new to fly fishing is there any spots or flies that would help me out
There really aren't that many spots but going when it isn't crowded is way more important. As far as flies etc,..I'd suggest small natural...midges, baetis etc and the lightest indicator u can find. Foam or yarn...try to avoid the bobber style. These fish see a ton of pressure!
@@LooknFishy yeah I figured finding spots that sent crowded would be hard but thank you for the reply I’ll definitely looks at some flies and give those a shot I’ll just head out really early in the morning thank you once again
I realize this is a while back, but what fly rod size/weight were you using here?
What was you using bait ( fly)
Lots of small stuff...midges and baetis sz 20-22!
Where did you camp and put in at to fish?
State park!
Would you share the location?
How clear is the water there
Gen clear most of the time...6x is my standard.
One of the most beautiful areas left in Oklahoma and they turned it into an unnatural dammed system that slowly destroys aquatic life. How stupid.
