Fishing guide Bryce Archey at Lake Broken Bow in Beaver’s Bend State Park sends in this fishing report:

Fishing in April is beginning to get really going. We are catching numbers of largemouth and spotted bass with the smallmouth just starting to get active.

These 3 species are starting their annual spawning process, so fishing this month will continue to get even better. If anyone is interested in booking a trip they can contact me for availability this month.

Lake Raymond Gary Report

April 2, 2008 by Doug Lay, Editor and Avid Fisherman

Due to high water at Lake Broken Bow, guide Bryce Archey has been taking his clients west to Lake Raymond Gary. He sends us these pictures and reports:

Here are some of the quality fish we are catching on Lake Raymond Gary. The one with my client holding his fish is the biggest largemouth he has ever caught (top picture). It weighed close to 7lbs.

I will continue to take clients to Lake Raymond Gary for trophy largemouth. Anyone interested in the opportunity call reach me at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561 or visit my website at www.brokenbowlakeguide.com.

Also, Lake Broken Bow received more rain last night and the lake is coming back up and could get higher than before. I will keep you updated if they close our last ramp.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the report Bryce. Looks like an excellent fishing trip!!

Broken Bow/Raymond Gary Update

March 25, 2008 by Doug Lay, Editor and Avid Fisherman

Broken Bow fishing guide Bryce Archey sends us this report:

Lake Broken Bow has crested at 620.42 – 21 feet above normal. There is one ramp that is open, but it is small and fills up quickly. The Corp of Engineers has opened two gates, and with a little luck, the other ramps will be able to open by this coming weekend or the following week.

Until Broken Bow returns to normal levels, Bryce is guiding for largemouth bass on a smaller lake west of Broken Bow called Lake Raymond Gary (an Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Lake – see picture upper right hand corner).

Editor’s Note: The fish are spawning at Lake Raymond Gary right now and the possibility of trophy largemouth bass (or two) is very good. Bryce has limited dates in late April and can fit a few more trips. For a great bass fishing trip with Bryce Archey, call him at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561or visit his web site at www.BrokenBowLakeGuide.com
