• Where to Fish on Oknoname 24 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Records held for Oklahoma County cover largemouth bass, green sunfish, bluegill and channel catfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 37°F and July at about 83°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Anyone fishing this water regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Northeast Lake is 3.4 miles off. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
