Oklahoma's winter trout fishing holes are scheduled to open Nov. 1.

Blue River, Robbers Cave, Lake Watonga, Perry Lake Park (a.k.a Perry CCC Lake), Medicine Creek and Lake Carl Etling are the six waters that are stocked with trout during the winter by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

October has seen record warm temperatures in Oklahoma, but state wildlife officials expect the trout season will open Nov. 1 in all six areas. But they will be monitoring water temperature in each area to make sure it is cold enough for trout.

“It has been unseasonably warm,” said Ken Cunningham, assistant chief of fisheries for the Wildlife Department. “We don't want to risk a fish kill so we would hold off until we got the water temperatures that we are looking for.”
