We met several people this week from DFW visiting Broken Bow for the first time and they were hooked on the Beavers Bend area.

Beavers Bend/Broken Bow Lake Flooding Update

Sherri and I along with Kula, the Grand Champion Brussels Griffon, enjoyed spending time at the Spillway last week. The heavy rainfall from February has resulted in all boat ramps on Broken Bow Lake being closed. It’s business as usual elsewhere in Beavers Bend State Park.

Broken Bow Lake Fishing Update

Broken Bow Lake Flooding

A boat ramp is open on Broken Bow Lake after recent flooding. No one is better qualified to give a fishing update than my pal, Bryce Archey of BrokenBowLakeGuide.com.

The Carson Creek boat ramp is open after recent flooding and from the pic of Bryce’s catch this week, fishing is very good on Broken Bow Lake. Bryce is the premiere guide on Broken Bow Lake, and as always, knows the scoop…

“The North ramp is open on Carson Creek. The lake level is 614.95 and normal pool is 599.50, so we have a way to go. The lake level is dropping almost one-foot-per-day due to the releasing of 7,850 cubit feet per-second (from the dam). Two other ramps should be open by end of the week. The lake should return to normal pool elevation in about 12-14 days, barring no more rain.”

Spawning season is approaching on Broken Bow Lake and there is no better guide to learn and laugh with than Bryce. He has years of experience after floods on Broken Bow Lake.

“Fishing can be really productive while the lake is extremely high. You can catch a variety of fish under flooded conditions, even during the winter months of January and February. The high water has fish up, moving around and looking for food to forage on. This makes your chances better than normal for catching quality fish,” Bryce reports.

If you want a tremendous outing on Broken Bow Lake, Bryce is a great choice for novice or professional anglers. Contact him at 870-582-4561. He’s our favorite guide on Broken Bow Lake!

Floodgates Opened At Broken Bow Lake

BROKEN BOW LAKE/BEAVERS BEND STATE PARK FLOODING

Massive rainfall in the Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake area will result in the  floodgates being opened to an all-time high of three-feet at 10:00 a.m. today, according to a KSLA television report.

Beavers Bend State Park cabins owned by the state of Oklahoma will be evacuated this morning prior to the floodgates being raised to the three-foot level. Highway 259A has been closed due to rising water.

Many luxury cabins are not currently affected in conditions like this if they are built on high ground. The rustic, state-owned cabins are impacted. 

An official at Beavers Bend State Park told me no rescues have taken place thus far.
