Oknoname 123002 Reservoir, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

• Where to Fish on Oknoname 123002 Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Survey and observation records for Pontotoc County include orangebelly darter, bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass and Rio Grande longear sunfish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The near bank of this water is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 82°F and January near 38°F on the long-run figures. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Oknoname 123001 Reservoir is 0.2 miles distant. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
