I’ve fished Grand Lake, but too long ago for me to remember. LOL

Welcome Apollo,
I don’t know the lake, but someone ought to be along who may be able to help you out. Enjoy your time on the Stage. Feel free to share some pics of your successes.

Oh yeah, we love pics. Welcome to the Stage and good luck with the bass. I be sticking with the salmonids thank you.

My condolences on your move, Apollo.... hope it was for consequential reasons.
I moved FROM Kansas TO So. Oregon, 37 years ago and don't miss flatland and the weather of the southern plains one bit. Hopefully you did some research or have prior knowledge of the state, as it will be a severe education, if not.
I will do my best to catch all those trout, steelhead and salmon you left behind in our clear cool waters, and you can pursue all those inedible bass that I left behind in that tepid, muddy, and veggie-laden water there....lol.

Actually... welcome to the forum and sorry for the sarcasm !
I just find it to be a rather inconceivable step forward, once one has experienced the beauty of this state.
Good luck to you.... hope you have a storm cellar/basement at your new abode.....and, of course, like to sweat profusely !

Welcome, Apollo. There are a few Okies here to help you out. We’ve been fishing Grand Lake once or twice a year for the past 12 years with Guide Rocky Thomas. 918.837.0490. He will show you the ropes. We’ll be there in late May.

Thank you John! Much appreciated for the contact information for Rocky. Will keep you posted on how Rocky and I do and if you have time in May when you're at the lake, get together for some fishing. Just started looking for a bass boat and hope to have one in the next month or so.
