Tulsa tail stripper

Description:I love the lower Illinois River because it can be a great place to fish and a great adventure as well. The river boasts an impressive tail water trout fishery and has a very solid population of seasonal stripers as well. The fishing is good all year but really picks up in the spring and early summer as the Striper begin making their spawning run up the river along with good numbers of hybrid striped bass, which don't actually spawn but still make a "mock" spawning run every year. After the fish spawn they hang around for several months, usually enjoying the cool water during the summer heat and the abundant food supply composed of shad, skipjack herring and trout which the Oklahoma Wildlife Department stocks. It can make for some great action and having different varieties of game fish present gives you several ways to make the fishing day a success. Additionally, spring and early summer boasts some of the best trout fishing of the year.
