Tenkiller Lake Fishing Report - Bass, Walleye, and Hybrid Stripers Hungry Before Winter

# Artificial Lure's Tenkiller Lake Fishing Report - November 28, 2025 Well hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning fishing report for Lake Tenkiller, and let me tell you, conditions are looking pretty solid out there. First off, the lake's in excellent shape right now. We're sitting at 633.14 feet elevation with the conservation pool at 98.22% capacity – that's about as full as she gets, folks. We've got 683,763 acre-feet of water, and the reservoir's releasing 80 cubic feet per second, which means good water movement and oxygenation. That's what the bass and walleye love. Sunrise this morning was around 6:47 AM, and sunset'll be knocking on the door around 5:08 PM, so you've got a solid fishing window right now. For Tenkiller specifically, we don't get traditional tidal reports – that's an ocean thing – but that steady release means you'll see consistent current patterns, especially near the dam and downstream areas. Now, here's where it gets good. The conservation pool being this full means the baitfish are active and dispersed throughout the lake. This time of year, we're targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass, hybrid stripers, and walleye. The water temps should be in the low 50s, so the fish are transitioning into their winter feeding patterns – they're hungry before the real cold sets in. For lures, I'd recommend crankbaits in shad patterns, some deep-diving plugs, and don't sleep on jerkbaits. They work magic this time of year. Live shiners are your best bait choice, but shad work too. Throw some suspending baits near the deeper structure. Speaking of structure, here are two absolute hot spots: First, check out the dam area – the current concentrates baitfish there, and predators know it. Second, head toward the back creek arms where the water gets shallower; structure-loving bass congregate there, especially around fallen timber. Thanks for tuning in, everyone!
