Stillwater Creek Site 6 Reservoir, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Stillwater Creek Site 6 Reservoir in the Payne County part of Oklahoma. The water sits 892 feet up. Surface area runs to about 6 acres — small enough to read in one session. Stillwater sits 7 miles from the bank. It is 53 miles to Tulsa, the nearest city. No border sits close enough to matter. In wet weather the last stretch of track is the awkward part.

• Where to Fish on Stillwater Creek Site 6 Reservoir

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Open biodiversity records for Payne County list bluegill, green sunfish and orangespotted sunfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On this water that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 82°F and January near 35°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to this water around it. Spring fish sit shallower than most people expect.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Oknoname 11908 Reservoir is 1.4 miles distant. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
