• Where to Fish on Winter Creek Site 19 Reservoir

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Across McClain County, recorded fish include green sunfish, bluegill, largemouth bass and orangespotted sunfish. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 37°F in January and 82°F in July. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That shapes the year on this water. A rising level usually fishes better than a falling one.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Oknoname 087034 Reservoir at 3.5 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat this water as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
