Overview

Powerhouse Fishing Area near Broken Bow provides access to the Lower Mountain Fork River, one of Oklahoma’s premier trout-fishing destinations. Cold water released from Broken Bow Lake creates suitable trout habitat and supports fishing opportunities throughout the year.

The powerhouse area is strongly influenced by water releases. Changing current creates pools, seams, eddies, and other feeding areas where trout may concentrate.

Fishing Tips

Fly anglers can work nymphs, streamers, and other trout patterns through current seams and deeper runs. Light-spinning anglers can use small artificial lures appropriate for the regulations governing this section of river.

Pay close attention to generation and changing water levels. Current can increase quickly, so avoid wading when conditions are unsafe and move to higher ground when water begins rising.

Bottom Line

A Broken Bow fishing area offering access to the Lower Mountain Fork’s renowned rainbow and brown trout fishery.
