Below the Eufaula Lake Dam, on the Canadian River, in Oklahoma, is an excellent place to bow hunt for Alligator Gar.
When the water is barely running down the river, the gar move up stream from the Arkansas River, and can be found there by the bow hunter.
Water needs to be about knee deep, and the hotter the weather, the better.
I have seen as many as 150 or 200 fish in an afternoon come by, with some as large as 4 ft. long.
They are very good eating, but I will warn you they are VERY hard to clean.
They are a fish that when shot, will give you a 90MPH fight, so take plenty of line on your bow reel.
