Is it worth fishing Tenkiller Lake today?

5 out of 10 — picky. Work for it. The strongest stretch is 4:06 AM–6:06 AM. That number is worked out fresh each morning from the solunar windows, the pressure trend.

What time should you fish Tenkiller Lake?

What is the water temperature at Tenkiller Lake?

No gauge on Tenkiller Lake measures it, so this is an estimate: roughly 67.6°F, worked out from the 7-day mean of air temperature at NOAA weather station KMKO (Muskogee-Davis Regional Airport). Checked against the lakes that do have a thermometer, that method lands within about 4.5°F of the real reading and was off by 8.3°F at worst. Treat it as a ballpark, not a measurement — and note the bite index above ignores it entirely, because an error that size would move the verdict as often as it would fix it.

Can you eat the fish you catch in Tenkiller Lake?

That is a health question and it belongs with the state, not with us. OK publishes fish consumption advisories through its health or environmental agency, and those are the ones that count. We give no eating advice.

Do you need a licence to fish Tenkiller Lake?

Yes. A Oklahoma fishing license covers this water, required from age 18. ODWC sets the rules and is the one that counts.
