• Where to Fish on Oknoname 149006 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Washita County include channel catfish, largemouth bass and Rio Grande longear sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. At this water the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Crowder Lake at 3.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
