Fishing Q&A
Where is the best place to fly fish near Edmond Oklahoma?
I am new to fly fishing and want to try it out without having to drive to Colorado or Arkansas. Any advice for a newbie would be appreciated.

- There's a cool place called Rockbridge near columbia missouri.. I went there and I liked it alot..
- Red River downstream from the Lake Texoma dam. There are a few spots that are accessible to fly fishermen. It's not exactly shallow river trout fishing in Colorado, but it works. But, it's also a little more dangerous. Be careful and learn when water is being released. You don't want to be downstream when the water starts flowing.
- For trout below tenkiller dam on the Illinois river or Romannose state park close to Okc. Next would be N>W> arkansas or S>W> MO.
- Wyoming. :-) I have found that I can pretty much fly fish anywhere. I have used my 5-6wt rod for bass and crappie in SC and my 8wt is kicking the crap out of redfish and seatrout in the saltwater. Go check out your local fishing hole and just do it. You'll need to tailor your flies to the species that are present, large buggy poppers and such for bass, wooly buggers around size 10-8 and smaller poppers for crappie and bluegill. I wouldn't use anything less than a 5-6wt for anything other than trout. If you stick a good sized bass hell shred a light wt fly rod. You can fly fish for any species anywhere. I am in Iraq now and I have been fly fishing here and catching catfish and carp and this bass type fish called an Asp. I know there are great fishing holes in OK so find one close and hit it! Tight lines and good luck!!
