don't recommend lake side,...you have to drive over the dam to get back to Texas side,... prolly more fun fishing lures if you know how. Never been there myself, but u know fish are there, y just soak bait and hope the fish will find it? Y not go to the fish with lure, u cover more water this way... of course after DD fishing is over you can join me soaking them shad in water, it's my favorite fishing method, cast them out n sit back relax. ..

You can't access the DD from the road in Texas (HWY 91) you will have to pass that exit on 75 into Oklahoma and access it from there (sign indicates Denison Dam). Main lake is super full and do not know if there is any access points for you to fish from. It's a different type of fishing on the DD, I grew up fishing it back in the day and Sunday was the first time I was out there on the wall throwing pencil poppers in 10 years. You just have to have common sense and etiquette fishing up there. I'll put pictures up after this post.

Awesome thanks guys!

Gonna try tomorrow! no expectations, lots of patience and interested in watching how it is done!!

This is right in front of the parking area. Maybe 1st or 2nd stairs. I fished on the wall where the generators are.

Bait supply at Lewisville is out of Blue gill...... might have more in later this week, any one cathcing blue gill at texoma up there?

was the wall this crowded?

This was sunday so I would imagine that day was a little more crowded being the first sun in a while and the weekend

Big strippers and cats being caught at west burns run in flooded trees... You don't have to fight the river...

still interested if available here..let me know.. thanks

fish the wall at your own risk. it's no holds barred up there

Well, I dusted the cobwebs off my old 9' surf rod and made it to the dam. Stopped by Dave's to get some pencil poppers, bucktail jigs, and weighted corks. They were all out of the teardrop type corks so I ended up getting the thin ones. they are super nice and helpful. Fished 11-2 around stairs 3 on tx side. Maybe it's because I didn't know what the hell I was doing but I didn't catch a thing. But it wasn't like the guys who knew what they were doing were pulling fish after fish out either. I tried pencil poppers, jig and cork, and fished on the bottom with sinker and leader. But no luck. I guess I'll continue to read the reports and try again later.

Is the water always red when they are releasing? I don't remember the water being that staind in the 90s when I used to go.

It was a tough day today, high pressure & bluebird skies didn't help.
fished both sides, saw some caught on the Tx rocks, went down to ck out
shawnee ceek & it looked like the Amazon!
the water coming out of the spillway is blasting all the way across the river channel to the north side, awesome!
I didn't catch chit today, Wilson managed an 8# before I left at 4pm
tough day, arm hurts, back thursday with a vengeance.....

How long will fishing stay good now that rain is gone

i didn't want to ask this question but... i was curious if most the people that fish denison dam work? i noticed some of them fish everyday lol and never leave.... just curious
