Broken Bow Lake is a reservoir in Oklahoma, near McCurtain County.
Broken Bow Lake is one of the more interesting bass waters in Oklahoma because largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass all show up in the same reservoir.
The current fish record also includes crappie, catfish, walleye, sunfish, and several other species. Below the dam, the Lower Mountain Fork supports a completely different kind of trip with year-round trout fishing.
ODWC's record list ties both the Oklahoma smallmouth buffalo record and the common carp record to Broken Bow Lake.
I would decide whether I wanted to fish the reservoir or the trout water below the dam before planning anything else. Those are two very different fishing days.
Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are all documented here.
Yes. ODWC's current record list includes smallmouth buffalo and common carp records from this lake.
