The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 05918 Reservoir

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Survey and observation records for Woods County include green sunfish, bluegill, Rio Grande longear sunfish and largemouth bass. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 82°F on average, January about 33°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish this water. Rain lifts the level and moves fish about.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Oknoname 059060 Reservoir, 1.5 miles away. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
