Beaver Lake or Tenkiller

[txdave]

My wife and I have our month trip planned to the white river in October. Looking for a spring trip around 10 days. We will be traveling from Rockport TX. We like to fish with whatever is working from artificial baits to flipping   nightcrawlers on a spinning rod for spots and fly fishing for trout. Time frame would April/May. The group has always provided good suggestions so I thought I would ask again. Thank you for suggestions.

Forgot we will be pulling a camper and hiring a guide at least one day then renting a boat.

I have never fished Tenkiller, but I hear it can be really good.

I fish Beaver a lot, mostly down by the dam.  October is a tough month for catching fish on that lake.  Indian Creek campground is a nice one.  I believe it closes Oct. 15 so there's that.  The weather early in the month is nice.  Fishing on the lake is tough that time of year and for sure you'll need a boat.  

I don't know that any of the marinas rent boats outside of pontoon boats.  You can hire a guide for a day for less than renting one of those pontoons.

If you stayed at Indian Creek you're about 10 miles from the tailwater at Beaver dam where you could trout fish from the bank.  You're also about a 45 minute drive from the Roaring River trout park.  

Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.

I would go to 10 K instead of Beaver. 100%

Hire a guide on the White River at Cranors. Then rent a boat there or at Stetsons or Sportsman's and fish the same areas. I have not fished Tenkiller since the 70's, but it is a great lake to fish. I simply cannot give a valid recommendation for guides or a place to stay.

Here's a thought. Hit up 10K and then fish below the dam for trout. I believe they still stock below there.
