Comanche Lake Fishing in Stephens County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  You will find Comanche Lake in Stephens County, Oklahoma. Elevation runs to 1,060 feet. With some 197 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. With 3.6 miles or so of shoreline, boat anglers cover ground the bank cannot. Some 4.3 miles away sits Comanche, the nearest settlement. It is 47 miles to Wichita Falls, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Comanche Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Records collected within a few miles name channel catfish, green sunfish, largemouth bass, bluegill and warmouth. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. Read Comanche Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 83°F; by January the average is down near 39°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Comanche Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Oknoname 067011 Reservoir at 9.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Where Comanche Lake is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
