Fishing at Little Deep Fork Creek Site 18 Reservoir, Creek County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  The Creek County end of Oklahoma holds Little Deep Fork Creek Site 18 Reservoir. It stands 850 feet above sea level. Small at around 9 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The nearest town is Bristow, 7.7 miles away. For a city, Tulsa is 37 miles off. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it. Ground round the water is mixed, open in parts and thick in others.

• Where to Fish on Little Deep Fork Creek Site 18 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Species logged across Creek County include bluegill, largemouth bass, green sunfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. The shape of this water rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 36°F in January up to 81°F in July. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. On this water that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Little Deep Fork Creek Site 17 Reservoir, 1.4 miles away. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
