Tenkiller Lake Fishing Report: Deeper Structures, Rattling Baits, and Staging Bass

# Tenkiller Lake Fishing Report - November 30th, 2025

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Sunday morning fishing report for Lake Tenkiller.

The lake is running about 1.14 feet above normal right now, sitting at a solid 633.14 feet elevation with the conservation pool nearly full at 98.36 percent capacity. That's good news for us anglers—plenty of water means healthy fish activity and more places to cast.

We're looking at late November conditions, so expect cooler water temperatures that'll push bass deeper into structure. You'll want to focus on the creek channels and drop-offs where the water temperature stays more stable. The lake sits at roughly 35 degrees north latitude near Gore, so sunrise is happening around 7 AM with sunset coming around 5 PM—give yourself a solid window this morning.

Now here's what's working right now. Tenkiller's known for solid bass populations, and at this time of year, you want to throw lipless crankbaits and hard baits with good rattle and vibration—the fish are more aggressive and they hunt by feel and sound when the water's cold. Work slower presentations too. Live shiners and crawfish remain your go-to baits if you're working the shallower areas near the dam.

Two spots I'd hit today: First, work the area near the conduit gates where current funnels baitfish. Second, check out the deeper points on the eastern side of the lake where structure meets the main basin—that's where the bigger fish are staging this time of year.
