Lake Konawa, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Konawa sits within Seminole County in Oklahoma. The ground round it is open plain. It measures some 1,234 acres, and wind has room to build across it. You are looking at roughly 11 miles of shoreline, with plenty of water between access points. By surface area it heads our Seminole County listings. Nearest town is Konawa, 2.5 miles off. The nearest city of size is Norman, 45 miles away. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Lake Konawa

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Seminole County include largemouth bass, orangespotted sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish and green sunfish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Lake Konawa rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 82°F and January about 38°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. That shapes the year on Lake Konawa. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Oknoname 133005 Reservoir is 0.6 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Lake Konawa for certain.
