Oknoname 10 Reservoir in Canadian County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Oknoname 10 Reservoir falls in Canadian County, part of Oklahoma. The ground round it is oak and grass. Roughly 31 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Few waters listed in Canadian County are bigger. Piedmont sits 4.7 miles from here and is the nearest stop. For a city, Oklahoma City is 14 miles off. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 10 Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Fish documented in Canadian County include bluegill, channel catfish, green sunfish and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On this water a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 83°F and January reads 36°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on this water follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. The nearest car park we can see is 0.9 miles out, so expect a walk with your gear. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Oknoname 13 Reservoir, 0.9 miles away. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
