Oknoname 02717 Reservoir Fishing in Cleveland County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Oknoname 02717 Reservoir is one of the Cleveland County listings for Oklahoma. It sits in oak and grass country. At roughly 12 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Hall Park lies 2.2 miles from the water. After that come Norman at 2.7 miles and Noble at 4.7 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 02717 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Records held for Cleveland County cover green sunfish, bluegill and largemouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 37°F in January and 82°F in July. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish this water. Long dry spells drop the level and concentrate them.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The nearest car park we can see is half a mile out, so expect a walk with your gear. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Oknoname 02709 Reservoir at 0.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the current arrangement for this water.
