A crisp, open sky after dark, with a light SW breeze with the barometer flat. Give the arms and the first breakline the first hour at Snady Creek Site 1 Reservoir. The strongest window runs from night into morning. Stay mobile and follow the activity. Falling temperatures are switching fish back on.

Night
You will find Snady Creek Site 1 Reservoir in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. It sits at 942 feet above sea level. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Nearest town is Ada, 3 miles off. For a city, Norman is 52 miles off. This one is safely inside the county line. Most of the shoreline can be walked in a session.
We hold no depth figure for this one. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Open biodiversity records for Pontotoc County list orangebelly darter, bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass and Rio Grande longear sunfish. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. On this water that means starting tight and working out.
In an average year July sits at 82°F and January at 38°F. No part of the year shuts this water. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Time your trip to this water by conditions rather than dates. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.
No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Sandy Creek Site 32 Reservoir, 0.4 miles away. Ask locally about this water if anything is unclear.
