I live in Ponca City and below the dam at Kaw is a good place to go for catfish and the sandbass should be running pretty quick. Try the east side of the dam, that's where I usually go. Also bluestem lake is about 5 miles west of Pawhuska and Pawhuska city lake is also west of town, and that's where they stock trout for winter. Everyone usually catches their limit on Trout around the dam area.
Lots of places to go.... Just pick one and get after it!
