• Where to Fish on Oak-Middle Reservoir 79-A

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public occurrence data for Seward County names common carp, stonecat, green sunfish and black bullhead. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 76°F in July and bottom out at 22°F in January. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid March. Averages suggest open water from about mid March through to roughly mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Oak-Middle Reservoir 81-A at 1.9 miles is the sensible second choice. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
