We have a small lake here that used to be stocked with trout that has some really nice largemouth and smallmouth as well as giant perch they quit stocking trout several years ago. I haven’t ever caught a smallmouth but know of others that have. The wildlife department I heard shocked it several years ago and said there were largemouth that would break the state record in there. That’s what the lake patrol that use to live there and take care of the place told me he no longer works there he retired. Bluestem the other lake has a lot of good bass in it also I sold my boat and haven’t bass fished it in a few years
We used to fish Pawhuska lake all the time. Beautiful clear water lake, or at least it was when we fished there. I think we stopped going over there when it flooded and maintenance began at the ramp a while ago. Probably the clearest lake in the state next to Tenkiller. Haven't been to bluestem, but the old man only likes new experiences when they're his idea. I've been planting that lake in his mind for two years. Lol
