A questions for all the Okie FAOLers...I'll probably be starting a new job in the next week or two (if this week's interview goes as well the first two) and can relax and take some time to explore the trout waters of Oklahoma.

I have heard about the Lower Illinois River by Gore, but have no idea where to start? I'll be wading, assuming that the water is wadeable, and would love to know the first two or three areas to go fish.

Also - is there a fly shop in the area that would be a good place to stop?

THANKS!
