Shovelnose Sturgeon
Targeting shovelnose sturgeon around Tulsa offers a unique angling experience in Oklahoma's diverse waterways. While not as widely pursued as other species, the Arkansas River and its tributaries hold a population of these ancient fish. Spring, after the spawn, and fall, as they feed up for winter, are prime times. Look for them in deeper channels and around structure where they forage for invertebrates. A heavy bottom rig with worms, cut bait, or even small crawfish is your best bet. Be aware of strong currents, especially after rainfall, and use enough weight to hold your bait steady. A particularly good access point is the Keystone Dam tailwater, but be sure to check local regulations regarding allowed baits and gear. These fish are resilient but vulnerable, so practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
