Tenkiller Trout Bonanza: Rainbows Ablaze Below the Dam

# Artificial Lure's Tenkiller Report
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report!
Water conditions are looking solid this week. According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's latest report from January 16th, we're sitting at a normal elevation with 50-degree water that's running crystal clear. That's prime trout territory right there.
The word from Game Warden Jerry Henry is that rainbow trout are absolutely on fire below the dam. They're hammering caddis flies and midges like crazy, plus inline spinnerbaits and small spoons are producing beautifully. If you're old school, PowerBait and worms are still getting the job done along the shallows and shorelines.
Here's the deal on regulations: from Tenkiller Dam down to the Highway 64 bridge, you're limited to one rod and reel per person. Daily limit on trout is generous, so you've got room to work. The tailwater below the dam is your sweet spot—that's where the action's happening.
For hot spots, park yourself below the dam where those stocked rainbows congregate. Second recommendation is working the shorelines heading downstream from there. Both areas have been consistent producers.
Since this is a tailwater fishery, check the USACE website for water generation times—that changes everything for your success rate.
Thanks for tuning in to this report! Make sure you subscribe for more intel on Oklahoma's best fisheries.
This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
