Comments:

Owasso is a managed muskie lake, and the largest group of anglers fishing this lake are fishing for muskie. Bluegill in this lake are very small, with few fish present that would be acceptable to most anglers. Walleye and largemouth bass are present, but lightly exploited.
The lake is very shallow except for a deep trench along the west shore of the lake. Fishing is limited by the small access and competition with recreational boater – water skiing is very popular here.
