• Where to Fish on Matteson Number 2b Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Woodward County: largemouth bass, channel catfish, common carp, bluegill and green sunfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 34°F on the long-run figures. In milder years the surface never sets. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Oknoname 153001 Reservoir sits 3 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
