• Where to Fish on Oknoname 071020 Reservoir

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Fish documented in Kay County include orangespotted sunfish, gizzard shad, flathead catfish, channel catfish and green sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 81°F, the coldest about 34°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. It holds true on this water more years than not. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is West Lake Ponca, 4.3 miles out. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
