Fishing Forecast: Mid‑July Bites
If you're heading out with rod and reel this weekend, here's what to expect on Grand:
Largemouth Bass – Early morning is prime near docks and brush. Try topwaters and slow plastics.
Crappie – Roaming deep brush (12–15 ft) on jigs or minnows.
Catfish – Cut bait near creek mouths and main lake points is paying off.
Lake Conditions: 82 °F surface temp, murky water, and elevation slightly above normal.
“Cast it like it’s hot—if the fish aren’t biting, they’re probably poolside!”
Lake Weather Watch: Sun, Sizzle & Lake Breezes
Friday, July 18

Hot and humid with plenty of sun. Keep cool with early boating—afternoon feels like a sauna!

Lake Life Tip:
This weekend’s heat means early mornings = best water. Plan shade breaks, hydrate, and don’t underestimate that Oklahoma sun!
Winds will stay light (5–10 mph), and the UV index will be high, so pack extra sunscreen and keep those shades handy!
