Fishing Northeast Lake in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Northeast Lake lies in Oklahoma County, in Oklahoma. The country here is pine and hardwood. The water covers some 38 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Few waters listed in Oklahoma County are bigger. Forest Park sits 1.7 miles from here and is the nearest stop. It is 4.3 miles to Oklahoma City, the nearest city. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Northeast Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public occurrence data for Oklahoma County names largemouth bass, green sunfish and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At Northeast Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 82°F at the top of summer and 36°F at the bottom of winter. The surface stays open the year round. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Plan any trip to Northeast Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Mapping shows a picnic spot within half a mile. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Lake Aluma is 1.4 miles off. For Northeast Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
