• Where to Fish on Oknoname 9 Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. County-wide records name largemouth bass, green sunfish and bluegill. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. This water repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 36°F. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. The season on this water follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Masseys Lake sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at this water for certain.
