This is the outcome of a new study by FishingBooker, the leading site for booking fishing trips in the US. The study ranked the top fishing spots in each state based on 6 criteria derived from FishingBooker's internal data, gathered from over one hundred thousand fishing trips in the past year.
In Oklahoma, 12 towns were ranked according to their score from 1 to 10 in six different categories. Kingston takes the top spot with 45 points out of 60, followed by Wagoner (35 points). Four towns share the third spot with 32 points each: Bushyhead, Chouteau, Fort Cobb, and Skiatook. Two Bryan County towns, Mead and Platter, shared the seventh spot.

FishingBooker’s extensive research of the US’s fishing opportunities yielded 6 different ranking criteria, based on FishingBooker’s internal data from over a hundred thousand fishing trips and connected reviews and reports. The criteria are:
• Number of available fishing charters
• Average review score
• Average recommended score
• Number of guides with the Angler's Choice Award
• Number of bookings
• Minimum price of a fishing trip A requirement was that at least ten bookings were made in the location in the past year, and all of the above criteria were taken from data for the past year alone.
Once the criteria were established, the scores were calculated and summed up, and we got the ultimate list of the best places in each US state, with their fishing potential ranked from best to worst.
