Forming most of the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma, the Red River is the second largest river system associated with the Lone Star state and the largest river system associated with Oklahoma.
Fishing below the Denison Dam on the Red River for trophy stripers, monster trophy catfish and paddlefish (spoonbill) is excellent and one of the more popular places to fish it is just below the Denison Dam on Lake Texoma.
The tailwaters of the dam are equally famous for both striper and trophy catfish.
