I had to make this decision in 2012 after I sold my company. I really enjoyed fishing at Texoma and it was great but I chose Possum Kingdom for the following reasons:

1. Very Very little boat or Jet Ski traffic during the week ( it's like my private Lake)
2. The view from my house is amazing and makes my wife happy. I had a nieghbor with a lake house at Athens whose wife would never go there. I didn't want to batch it all the time.
3. Very dry air out here, feels cooler in the summer and few Mosquitoes
4. I have a gated community, so I can maintain my house in the metroplex and know it's not being looted while I am gone.
5. Fishing is decent, if not as good as Texoma.


Everyone's situation will be different. One thing to note, is that if you are there all the time you'll catch really good fish at any of these premium lakes.

I've enjoyed the fishing:


I've enjoyed the view, as has my non fishing wife:


She really loves the wildlife

PKfishing, A bit off the subject but I saw that pic of your wife feeding the deer. I had a friend that retired, moved to Oklahoma, and enjoyed feeding the deer......until one of them killed him. Be careful, they are not pets!
