Oklahoma anglers can fish for free this weekend, June 1-2 at Grand Lake, and every Oklahoma lake. During these days, a state fishing license will not be required whereas in most other cases a license is required. Anglers should note that certain city permits may still apply to specific fishing areas. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's many communication outlets such as its free news releases, Facebook and Twitter accounts and weekly fishing reports are useful starting points for finding fishing information. Every week the fishing report provides a listing of lakes and the current state of angling success at that location. The Department also updates its Facebook page daily with current reports from its own personnel as well as its fans on a range of current outdoor activities. For example, the ODWC fishing report filed this week for Grand Lake says largemouth bass catches have been good on spinnerbaits and crankbaits in 5-10 ft of water. If crappie are your quest, the fishing is rated as good using minnows and jigs fished around structure. White bass action is good on jigs on Honey Creek, Elk River and Drowning Creek. Catfish are biting on fresh cut bait. Makes you want to grab your fishing gear and head for the lake. "If you stay connected with the Wildlife Department through these outlets, you are going to have a good, timely picture of what is happening in the outdoors across the state at any given time," said Michael Bergin, information specialist for the Wildlife Department. "With biologists and game wardens stationed across the state, as well as more than 15,000 Facebook fans and almost 3,000 followers on Twitter, we stay pretty connected to what's happening all over the state. If you connect with us, you'll know what's going on, too, because we're constantly sharing photos and reports from our employees and friends who have been having current success. Free Fishing Days are sure to be a great time to snap some photos to share with us, too." Oklahoma was the first state in the nation to offer free fishing days about 30 years ago and has since been followed by dozens of other states that have established similar days. The Wildlife Department is encouraging anglers to take a short video clip or photo of someone catching their first fish and send it to the Department through Facebook or Twitter.
