Bass Fishing
April is the start of Spring Bass Fishing in Oklahoma. There
are so many great places to hit in Oklahoma. Here is a quick
list to get you started. Grand, Tenkiller, Sardis, The Arbuckle

camping facilities available. Grand is the nice resort like
atmosphere. Tenkiller is a peaceful and not the big party lake, Lake Texoma is

excellent.
