Blue Catfish
If you're chasing trophy blue catfish in Oklahoma, Yeager offers some excellent opportunities. The primary draw here is nearby Lake Holdenville, known for its healthy population of blues. Targeting these whiskered giants is best from late spring through fall, as the water warms up and they become more active. Look for them around submerged timber, creek channels, and deeper holes, especially after a good rain when the lake level rises. A practical tip for Lake Holdenville: access can be a bit challenging, so be sure to check lake level reports before you go. Low water can make some ramps unusable. Also, consider using cut shad or skipjack herring for bait – local anglers swear by it. The blue catfish in this area are known to get quite large, so be prepared for a serious fight!
