The Pines West Lake, Oklahoma: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Oklahoma County end of Oklahoma holds The Pines West Lake. The ground around here is dry hill. This is a pocket water of some 3 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Oklahoma County. Warr Acres is the closest place, 1.6 miles off. The big place round here is Oklahoma City, 8.1 miles distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on The Pines West Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Species logged across Oklahoma County include largemouth bass, green sunfish, bluegill, channel catfish and Rio Grande longear sunfish. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of The Pines West Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 82°F on average, January about 36°F. No part of the year shuts this water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At The Pines West Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is a car park half a mile from the bank. A toilet block sits half a mile away. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Knight Lake is 0.2 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at The Pines West Lake for certain.
