Overholser is shallow compared with Hefner and has a covered public fishing pier. Catfish, white crappie, white bass and hybrids are among the targets listed by the wildlife department.
Where to fish
Fish attractors provide cover in this relatively shallow reservoir. Find their locations on the agency map, then choose a presentation that reaches them from your access. A small jig or minnow suits crappie; a bottom rig with cut bait gives you a catfish option. Do not use depth information from another Oklahoma City lake to plan this one.
Access and time at the lake
The covered pier is at the southwest corner. Boat access is listed on the east side near the patrol station and at the south end near the dam. Picnic facilities make a family shore visit straightforward. Swimming is prohibited, so plan the rest of the day around fishing, boating or a picnic instead.
