Species logged across Osage County include green sunfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, orangespotted sunfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Daddy Miller Spring Reservoir should walk it once before setting up.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Woolaroc Museum is the nearest mapped car park, half a mile out. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Oknoname 113078 Reservoir at 5 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Daddy Miller Spring Reservoir as something to verify.
