• Where to Fish on Fort Cobb Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Caddo County cover green sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish and bluegill. The county list is broader than any single water. Fort Cobb Reservoir gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 36°F in January up to 82°F in July. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on Fort Cobb Reservoir follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping shows a ramp about half a mile from the shore. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. None of that is settled for Fort Cobb Reservoir in what we hold.
