Salt Creek Site 46 Reservoir, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Salt Creek Site 46 Reservoir falls in Seminole County, part of Oklahoma. It sits at 932 feet above sea level. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Konawa lies 2.5 miles from the water. Maud is 9.4 miles and Byng 11 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank. The country round the bank is quiet, with little traffic on the road in.

• Where to Fish on Salt Creek Site 46 Reservoir

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. County-wide records name largemouth bass, orangespotted sunfish and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. The shape of this water decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 38°F in January up to 82°F in July. Warm months push fish deep; cool months bring them back. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Expect this water to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Salt Creek Site 47 Reservoir, 0.6 miles out. For this water in particular, ask before you travel.
