Broken Bow Fishing Report

by

Lake Broken Bow fishing report and Lake Broken Bow fishing guide Bryce Archey
Last Friday, my wife and I went fishing with Lake Broken Bow fishing guide Bryce Archey and man, did we have a great trip!

We started out around 6am and were on the hunt for walleye. It’s getting close to the end of walleye season and I had never caught one before – I’ve eaten walleye – just never caught one. So the mission was to catch some and learn how to properly handle and clean them. Walleye have lots of very sharp teeth and the edge of their gill plates are razor sharp.

We were throwing crankbaits and soft plastic grubs around some of Bryce’s favorite spots and not only did we catch walleye, but also largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, sand bass and the most beautiful bluegill you’ve ever seen.

We had so much fun! You never knew what was on the end of the line until you got the fish close to the boat. I even caught a largemouth bass when I set my pole down to take a picture of of the bluegill. My grub was in the water and floated down the bottom. Bryce was holding the bluegill and noticed my pole was moving and about to go overboard! You’ve got to love those kind of trips – lots of species and getting fish on without even trying.

You can click on the picture to view a larger version. Check out the bluegill’s coloration; a bright orange belly and tiger striping on it’s side. The walleye were beautiful (and tasty) too; two colors of golden scales with some gray striping.

If you would like to experience fishing on Lake Broken Bow, I recommend that you call Bryce Archey at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561. You can also visit his website at www.brokenbowlakeguide.com.

I have just a few days left in May and I booking June now, so if anyone is interested in a great fishing trip just have them give me a call. Dates are limited so don’t delay! Call me at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561.

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

Broken Bow/Raymond Gary Update

by

Lake Raymond Gary Oklahoma has trophy largemouth bass.
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

Fishing has been excellent with quality largemouth being caught. The last couple of outings have produced multiple fish weighing over 5lbs apiece. We have also been catching really nice smallmouth bass with the biggest weighing just under 5lbs.

I am now booking for February and beyond for this year. Dates are already going fast in March, April, and May but I am still pretty open in February. Anyone interested in booking a trip with me needs to call ASAP because the dates still open will be gone soon.

Editor’s Note: Thanks for the picture and report Bryce…nice bass! Call Bryce at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561. Visit his website at www.brokenbowlakeguide.com. BTW – Bryce, are you a proud pappa now???

Broken Bow Bass Report

Bass fishing at Lake Broken Bow with fishing guide Bryce Archey
Last Thursday, I had the opportunity to fishLake Broken Bow, site of the state record largemouth bass, withfishing guide Bryce Archey for a half day.

If you haven’t fished Lake Broken Bow, I HIGHLY recommend that you get there as fast as you can! Located in theOuachita National Forest and at the foot of theKiamichi Mountains (and the Talimena Scenic Drive), you will not find a more picturesque place to go fishing in Oklahoma.

Bryce grew up in the area and has fished the lake his entire life. He won many tournaments there over the years before offering his services to the public. He knows how to get you on fish – quickly. We caught several dozen largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and kentucky (spotted) bass throughout the morning. I hooked a sizable smallmouth bass in Bryce’s favorite cove, but right when it got to the boat, the line broke – dang it! Later, that rascal jumped about 20 yards from the boat and shook loose my plastic worm!!

All in all, it was a fantastic trip – gorgeous scenery, fall foliage colors, and fish everywhere we went. I would like to tell you more, but I promised Bryce not to give away all his secrets.

If you would like to experience Lake Broken Bow with consummate professional Bryce Archey, call him at 580-494-6447 or 870-582-4561 or visit his website at: www.brokenbowlakeguide.com. Check out Bryce in action in the video below:


P.S. Bryce and his wife are expecting their first son in January!!
