The 2001 Oklahoma Fishing Guides will soon be available statewide at sporting goods stores and fishing license dealers. The 31-page booklets not only list regulations governing fishing in the state, but they also contain fishing tips and other helpful information.

The booklet outlines new regulations for 2001 and provides regional listings of lake-specific regulations. A sport fish of Oklahoma chart is also provided in the centerfold. The chart covers preferred spawning temperatures and locations, best bait choices and prime feeding times and key fishing areas for common fish species.

All of Oklahoma's state designated trout areas also are outlined in the new guide. Maps, individual area regulations and trout fishing tips are provided to help anglers enjoy greater success. Lake descriptions and contact information and a list of enclosed fishing docks also are listed in this year's booklets.

Anyone with questions about fishing in Oklahoma or about state fishing regulations should contact their local game warden, or contact the Department's Fisheries Division at (405) 521-3721. Further information also is available at wildlifedepartment.com.
