• Where to Fish on Oknoname 087027 Reservoir

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Across McClain County, recorded fish include green sunfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, orangespotted sunfish and channel catfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Oknoname 02704 Reservoir sits 4.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at this water are worth checking on the day.
