Oklahoma City offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within easy reach of the metro. Focus your efforts on lakes like Lake Overholser and Lake Hefner. These reservoirs can be challenging, as the bass tend to be structure-oriented. During the spring spawn, target shallow coves and weed beds. As the water warms, bass will retreat to deeper structure like submerged timber, bridge pilings, and creek channels. A Texas-rigged worm or a crankbait worked along these structures can be highly effective. Pay attention to water clarity; these lakes can get muddy after heavy rains. The clearer the water, the more effective lures like spinnerbaits and swimbaits will be. A local tip: Overholser often clears up faster than Hefner after a rain event, making it a good backup plan. Oklahoma bass tend to be thick-bodied, so don't be afraid to upsize your presentation.
