Fish documented in Okmulgee County include orangespotted sunfish, largemouth bass and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At this water the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 82°F in July and bottoms out near 37°F in January. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. It sets the rhythm of the year at this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Oknoname 111071 Reservoir sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. For this water, the notice at the access point is the final word.
