• Where to Fish on Oknoname 143004 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Records held for Tulsa County cover largemouth bass, bluegill and green sunfish. The county list is broader than any single water. This water responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 81°F and January about 35°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Mapping shows a campsite some half a mile from the water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Cimarron River at 5.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to this water locally before you travel.
