• Where to Fish on Oknoname 051013 Reservoir

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Survey and observation records for McClain County include green sunfish, bluegill and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 37°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. This water fishes to that pattern most years. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Oknoname 087010 Reservoir, 1.9 miles away. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
