• Where to Fish on Quapaw Creek Site 24 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Lincoln County records list channel catfish, orangespotted sunfish, green sunfish and largemouth bass among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 82°F for July and 37°F for January. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to this water around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Quapaw Creek Site 25 Reservoir, 0.7 miles away. Check the position on this water before loading the car.
