Mustang Lake Number 1 near Mustang: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Mustang Lake Number 1 stands in Canadian County, Oklahoma. It sits at 1,342 feet above sea level. At roughly 3 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. On size it sits at the modest end of our Canadian County list. Mustang at 2.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. Then Tuttle, 7.3 miles, and Yukon, 8.1 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Mustang Lake Number 1

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Survey and observation records for Canadian County include bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish, largemouth bass and orangespotted 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

  Between January at about 36°F and July at about 82°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Lakehoma Acres Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
