Red Bird Lake Fishing in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma

• Overview

Roughly 1.1 miles of bank means you can walk to a fresh area when one goes quiet. On our Okfuskee County list it sits near the top for size. Boley sits 2.4 miles from the bank. Tulsa is the closest city, 51 miles away. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Red Bird Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Public occurrence data for Okfuskee County names bluegill, largemouth bass, green sunfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Red Bird Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 81°F and January reads 37°F. The surface stays open the year round. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect Red Bird Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Oknoname 107022 Reservoir at 1.6 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Red Bird Lake.
