Angler’s Guide now available
ODWC

Spring is here and it is a perfect time to get out and enjoy Oklahoma's
fantastic fishing opportunities.

Before heading out, anglers will want to grab a copy of the "2004
Oklahoma Angler’s Guide." The informative guide can be found in the
March/April 2004 issue of “Outdoor Oklahoma” magazine, the official
publication of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

"The Angler’s Guide is a great way to get ready for the spring and summer
fishing season," said Nels Rodefeld, “Outdoor Oklahoma” editor. "It
provides electrofishing results, tournament data, stocking rates and
premier destinations for many popular species. The Angler’s Guide can be
an invaluable resource to help plan your upcoming fishing trips.”

Those interested in striking up a friendly dispute with their hunting and
fishing partners will want to be sure to read a second installment of
“The Best of Oklahoma.” The article examines some of the more often
debated topics such as what is the hardest fighting fish or what is the
best type of arrows for deer hunting. Readers are even invited to give
their own opinions on these topics.

Bird lovers will want to read “Where Bluebirds Fly.” The article offers
insight on the colorful little birds such as natural history and how to
give bluebirds a helping hand by providing nest boxes this spring.

Hunters who are a getting a case of the spring turkey fever will want to
check out a special profile on McGee Creek Wildlife Management Area. Not
only does the article offer a great description of this scenic area, the
author also reveals a few of his tried and true hunting tips for bagging a
southeast Oklahoma gobbler.

The Watchable Wildlife profile features one of the state’s most unique
mammals, the pronghorn antelope.
