• Where to Fish on Oknoname 093008 Reservoir

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Reported across Major County: channel catfish, green sunfish and common carp. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The near bank of this water is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 83°F, while January sits near 35°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Oknoname 093011 Reservoir sits 0.7 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for this water in what we hold.
