Sixteen striped bass (Morone saxatilis) from Keystone Reservoir, Oklahoma, were successfully implanted with ultrasonic transmitters and located periodically during a 337‐day monitoring period. A total of 220 sightings were plotted, 154 (70%) of which occurred during the summer months (June‐August). Striped bass exhibited seasonal migratory and distributional patterns, showing areas of concentration in the headwaters of the reservoir during the spring and fall with summer concentrations in the main body of the reservoir.
