Marker Information: CottonWood Creek on the southwest side of Keystone Lake. This area is silted in now, but from time to time it produces some good fishing when the lake is flooded. Cottonwood Creek crosses under Highway 51, southwest of this marker. It's a small creek that provides some decent fishing when the lake is at flood stage. Blue Catfish and Channel Catfish will go up into the flooded fields where a you can catch them easily out in the flooded areas using night crawlers and cut shad near Highway 51. It's also a good place to catch shad from shore. - Marked by:
Tiny's Catfish Guide Service
Marker Information: House Creek on the southwest side of Keystone Lake. This area is very shallow at the mouth where it runs into the Cimarron River. Keystone Lake needs to be 725+ sea-level to get into the House Creek Cove area. Late March to mid April this is a great White Bass (sand bass) area, depending on flood and water conditions. Also, there's cormorant roosts in this cove. - Marked by:

Marker Information: Good bank fishing spot during April for white bass when the water isn't too muddy. This is the Cimarron River on the far west side of Keystone Lake and it's normally very shallow, but there are some good holes east of this spot along a rock bluff just south of the Highway 51 bridge. You can drive down the old oil lease roads to get close to the river east of this marker or you can drive by the house just west of the Cimarron River bridge on Highway 51, if the road isn't too muddy. 4 wheel-drive with high a clearance is best to have when driving that road. - Marked by:
Tiny's Catfish Guide Service
Marker Information: Bank fishing spot on the west side of Keystone Lake. There's an old road that is also a driveway to a house that is an oil lease road that goes past the house on the west side of the Highway 51 bridge. If the road isn't muddy, then you can drive almost all the way to the river. There's a deep hole by the rock bluff that borders the east side of the river just north of the bend. This is sometimes a good Blue Catfish fishing hole, especially around May 15th to May 21st - Marked by:
