There’s nothing quite like the thrill of a fish blowing up on a topwater lure and in Oklahoma, the best times to experience it are late summer, fall, and early spring, especially during the cool mornings and evenings.
Why then? That’s when frogs, lizards, snakes, and insects are most active on the water’s edge. Add in low-light conditions, and you’ve got fish moving into shallow water in the backs of coves and creek arms, hunting for an easy meal.
With so many different types of topwater lures, you might be wondering… where do you start?
The answer is simple: match the hatch. Take a look around your fishing spot, notice what prey is naturally present, and choose your lure accordingly. If frogs are hopping, reach for a topwater frog. If you see a certain insect crawling, tie on a popper.
The right lure at the right time can turn an ordinary cast into an unforgettable strike.
