• Where to Fish on Oknoname 107020 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. County-wide records name bluegill, largemouth bass and green sunfish. The county list is broader than any single water. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 81°F in July and bottom out at 37°F in January. The surface stays open the year round. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That is the shape of the year on this water.

• 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. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Oknoname 107022 Reservoir, 0.4 miles out.
