Our Oklahoma Noodling Guide Service teaches this time honored southern tradition. That my father taught me, In which he learned from his father in Louisiana. He later came to Oklahoma and honed his skills on the creeks, lakes and rivers. He also taught David and Red Baggett stars of Okie Noodling 1 and 2. I have taught my wife and children who carry on the tradition. My wife Brandy, also won the Okie Noodling Tournament; Top Female Noodler award in 2011.

We fish the creeks, lakes, and rivers of Southwest Oklahoma and North Texas.

We have been in Okie Noodling 2, Glutton for Punishment, Espn Timeless. We just finished filming with Jeremy Wade of River Monsters. As we teach Jeremy how to noodle. This will air April 2012 episode 1 of season 4.

The first documented origins of Noodling go back to Native Americans, who would wrap clothes around there hands and arms, wrestling these massive mottled zepplins to shore.

The Noodling season begins in May through July, and can carry into August. Normally the Channel and Blue Cat start spawning in May. The Flathead will begin after.. The Blue and Channel cat are much more aggressive with a very powerful bit. They are game fish and must be released when caught. However, Flathead are not a game fish in Oklahoma and you may keep those. 3 per person per day at a 20 inch minimum.

We prefer to catch, photograph, and release.
