Call 1-800-ASK-FISH for the latest fishing information

With so many outstanding reservoirs in Oklahoma it can be tough to keep up with current fishing conditions, but you can simply pick up the phone, call one number and get all the information they need to enjoy a day at the lake. Anglers can call 1-800-ASK-FISH to find out where the fish are biting or where to find a particular lake or even how to get a fishing license.

The 1-800-ASK-FISH hotline, which was created in 1998, operates 24 hours a day providing anglers information on a wide variety of useful information such as weekly fishing reports, where to buy fishing
licenses, regulations, and other information.

"Whether you’re a new angler or one who has been fishing for many years 1-800-ASK-FISH is a great service. It’s great to be able to call one number and have access to such a wide range of information," said Kim Erickson, fisheries chief for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

Compiled by Wildlife Department personnel and independent volunteer reporters, the updated reports even include techniques and locations to increase angler success.

Broken into five state regions, the reports also include other valuable information for the informed angler. Water temperature, water conditions and lake levels can help fishermen get the most out of their
outings.

The 1-800-ASK FISH program is a cooperative effort between the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, the Sportfish Restoration Program and Bass Pro Shops.
