"Ideal Conditions at Lake Tenkiller for December 8 Fishing Adventure"
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
For December 8, 2024, if you're planning to head out to Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma, here's what you can expect:
The weather is looking favorable with a comfortable temperature around 48°F and a light breeze. Sunrise today is at 7:27 AM, and sunset will be at 5:16 PM, giving you about 9 hours and 49 minutes of daylight.
Lake Tenkiller's elevation is slightly above normal at 633.31 feet, and the water temperature is around 50°F with a slightly stained clarity. This cooler water is perfect for the year-round trout fishery in the tailwaters below the dam.
Fish activity has been good, especially for bass. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are active in shallower waters around 5-10 feet deep, particularly during early morning and late afternoon. They can be found around channels, docks, and main lake points. Use crankbaits, lipless baits, and plastic baits for the best results.
Catfish, including blue, channel, and flathead, are more active in the main lake, river channel, and around brush structure. Chicken liver, cut bait, shad, and stinkbait are your best bets.
Crappie, both black and white, are biting around brush structure, docks, and the main lake. Hair jigs, minnows, and worms are recommended. Remember, crappie must be at least 10 inches long, with a daily limit of 15 combined.
For trout, the tailwaters below the dam are promising due to the cool water. There is no size limit for trout, but the daily limit is six.
Hot spots include the main lake points, channels, and areas around the rocky bluffs and outcroppings. The tailwaters below the dam are also excellent, especially for trout.
Given the cooler water and favorable weather, it should be a great day on the lake. Enjoy your fishing trip at Lake Tenkiller
