Donavan Clary Fishing
Tahlequah, Oklahoma
Donavan Clary has run this business since 1992 and works it full time, reporting roughly 275 days on the water each year. It is a one guide operation rather than a shop or a staffed outfitter, so the person answering the phone is the person running the boat. The territory reaches beyond Oklahoma: the schedule also takes in Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake in Missouri, and the site claims around 20 species caught across that full range. Lodging is sold separately at 200 dollars a night for two people, which lets travelling anglers arrange a bed and a guide from one source. Conventional boats are rigged with Livescope sonar for lake work and deeper water.
