Lake Leven, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Leven lies within the bounds of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. It sits at 1,217 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 5 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Warr Acres is the closest place, 1.9 miles off. Bethany follows at 2.2 miles, then The Village at 4.1 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lake Leven

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name largemouth bass, green sunfish, bluegill and channel catfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Lake Leven light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 36°F in January and 82°F in July. The surface stays open the year round. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lake Leven. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try The Pines West Lake, 0.3 miles away. Ask locally about Lake Leven if anything is unclear.
