• Where to Fish on Quapaw Creek Site 2 Reservoir

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Survey and observation records for Lincoln County include channel catfish, orangespotted sunfish and green sunfish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Work this water in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 82°F; by January the average is down near 37°F. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Quapaw Creek Site 42 Reservoir, 1.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Where this water is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
