• Where to Fish on Oknoname 129007 Reservoir

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Roger Mills County include largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish and channel catfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At this water light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 81°F, while January sits near 35°F. Neither winter nor summer shuts things down for long. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on this water rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Oknoname 129006 Reservoir sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
