A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 037060 Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Fish documented in Creek County include bluegill, largemouth bass, green sunfish, Rio Grande longear sunfish and gizzard shad. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 36°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Salt-Camp Creek Site 21 Reservoir at 2.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
