  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Survey and observation records for Woodward County include largemouth bass, channel catfish and common carp. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on this water more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Oknoname 05931 Reservoir sits 3.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
