Oknoname 02707 Reservoir Fishing in Cleveland County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Set in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, this is Oknoname 02707 Reservoir. This is dry hill ground. About 9 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Some 3.5 miles away sits Slaughterville, the nearest settlement. Then Lexington, 4.6 miles, and Purcell, 5.7 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 02707 Reservoir

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Cleveland County records list green sunfish, bluegill and largemouth bass among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 82°F on average, January about 37°F. No part of the year shuts this water. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing. Warm spells bring fish up, cold snaps push them down.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Oknoname 02705 Reservoir, 0.6 miles out. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
