Oknoname 02725 Reservoir, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, this is Oknoname 02725 Reservoir. The surface lies 1,198 feet up. Small at around 8 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The closest town, Moore, is 3.1 miles distant. Hall Park follows at 5.3 miles, then Norman at 5.5 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 02725 Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged across Cleveland County include green sunfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, orangespotted sunfish and channel catfish. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 82°F for July and 37°F for January. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On this water the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mussel Shoals Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on this water is worth confirming on the day.
