Fishing on the Arkansas River

There are a number of good places to fish along the river. The prize catch is a nice Striped Bass.

Is it a holiday destination as well as a place to live?

Unknown said... [Reply to comment]: I have never fished in the river so I can't say for sure what kinds of fish are there. I see in the newspaper that people catch some nice striped bass there but also catfish, carp and drum, probably some perch. Sort of the usual.

Tulsa is generally an attractive place to live or visit. I don't think of it as a holiday destination because I live here.

The USA in general and Northeastern Oklahoma in particular is more spread out than Europe and has more recreational land available for public access. Tulsa has a nice river but within an hour's drive from Tulsa are 6 large lakes all with places to camp, swim, fish and even hunt in season. People take power boats to the lake, camp for the weekend, water ski, etc., and pay little more than the cost of beer and groceries. This is a great place to live.; Friday, May 29, 2009
