Salt Creek Site 2 Reservoir Fishing Guide, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma

• Overview

  Salt Creek Site 2 Reservoir lies within the bounds of Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. It stands 965 feet above sea level.

This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 2 Reservoir

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Across Pottawatomie County, recorded fish include bluegill, green sunfish and white crappie. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Read this water for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 37°F in January and 82°F in July. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on this water follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Salt Creek Site 3 Reservoir sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
