Fly Fishing Road Trips
Good People      Good Water       Good Fish

Oklahoma was part of the 2018 California Trip. Oklahoma might have been my favorite location because it was such a surprise. Beavers Bend State Park has beautiful cabins, tall trees, and the Moutain Fork River.

 

There are multiple great camping sites. I chose the primitive Hickory Campground right on the river. I tried fishing the whole afternoon but could only hook one trout and lost him. I met another fly fisherman next to my camp and shared my Arkansas trout. In addition, he shared his oversize bottle of wine, which we finished.

​

Brooke Trout was the hit of the camp area; everyone wanted to play with her. I also learned about a fly fishing-only section on the other side of the bridge, which was my target the next day. I started getting worried at this stage as it had been 24 hours and still no trout.  

​

The fly fishing area was set up nicely with small boulders making good trout water. I hooked a couple of more trout but didn't land them. Then, finally, I caught a brown!

​

This story could go on as this place is excellent and had great people too!
