re: W/o looking it up, what's your guess to what the Red and Ouachita River rank in flow rate?

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that the reservoir I fish several times a week, Lake Texoma from the Red River, flows down to Louisiana like that.

The Red River below the Denison Dam is barely flowing unless they're generating from the dam.

Also, the upper Red here has a high salt content which is perfect for the self-producing striper population. They haven't stocked that badboy with stripers since the 60s. Salt content is high from the salt n the western Oklahoma-Texas basin.
