Paddlefish (or Spoonbill), dating back to the Jurassic period, populations are increasing in Oklahoma. You will find paddlefish in the Arkansas, Grand, and Neosho river systems. They regularly weigh over 50 pounds and are measured in feet. Since they feed on plankton, they will not bite a lure. They are caught by snagging with large treble hooks, and then you better hang on. The best time to catch a paddlefish is during the spawn run. Checkout the Wildlife Department for more information, regulations, or to obtain a permit for Paddlefish angling.
