Lake Texoma is a massive 89,000-acre reservoir straddling the Texas-Oklahoma border, making it one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. Created in 1944 by the Denison Dam on the Red River, this impressive body of water boasts approximately 580 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 100-110 feet. Known as the Striper Capital of the World, Lake Texoma is renowned for its exceptional striped bass fishing, featuring one of the few self-sustaining striped bass populations in freshwater. The lake's unique saline environment, contributed by salt deposits carried by the Red River, creates ideal conditions for striped bass reproduction. Beyond its famous striper fishing, Lake Texoma offers diverse angling opportunities for numerous other species, making it a premier fishing destination that attracts millions of visitors annually.
