Oknoname 083006 Reservoir, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Oknoname 083006 Reservoir sits in Oklahoma County, out in Oklahoma. Elevation runs to 1,152 feet. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. On size it sits at the modest end of our Oklahoma County list. You are 8.6 miles from Luther. After that come Edmond at 10 miles and Guthrie at 12 miles. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 083006 Reservoir

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Survey and observation records for Oklahoma County include largemouth bass, green sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 82°F for July and 36°F for January. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out. Autumn cools the shallows first, so work deeper as it goes on.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Oknoname 083005 Reservoir, 1.3 miles out. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
