Striper country
Why the striper matters here
What the rest of the world calls striped bass, locals call striper, and Lake Texoma has earned the title Striper Capital of the World. Guides run year-round, spring and fall are the classic windows, and the striper is part of everyday lake conversation from Highport to Buncombe Creek. Plan a trip around it and you will understand the nickname fast.
