Fishing at Beaver Creek Site 5 Reservoir, Custer County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Beaver Creek Site 5 Reservoir is a Custer County water, Oklahoma side. The setting is farm and woodlot on every side. Small at around 24 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It sits higher than most water we list in Oklahoma. Clinton is the closest town at 5.3 miles. Beyond it, Weatherford at 16 miles and Thomas at 16 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Creek Site 5 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Fish documented in Custer County include largemouth bass, channel catfish, green sunfish and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On this water the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 82°F on average, January about 35°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Buehler Reservoir, 8.5 miles away. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
