• Where to Fish on Okfuskee Tributaries Site N-1 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Okmulgee County include orangespotted sunfish, largemouth bass, bluegill and warmouth. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 81°F, while January sits near 37°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. At this water the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
