Altus Reservoir Fishing

Altus Reservoir and adjacent Quartz Mountain State Park provide a major recreation spot in southwest Oklahoma. The lake holds two state records for largest walleye (13 pounds) and hybrid bass (22 pounds. Fishing is available from both sides of the entire stretch with best access along the entire length of the North shore and near the dam on the south side.

Trout season is November 1 through March 15. The north fork of the Red River runs through the park, and each year in the fall, hundreds of trout are released there for the annual “trout derby” in which participants fish for tagged, prize-winning trout.
