• Where to Fish on Headrick 1 Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Public occurrence data for Canadian County names bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 82°F; by January the average is down near 36°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Roy Stokes Reservoir is 1 mile distant. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
