Ripley, Oklahoma, while a smaller town, provides access to some great largemouth bass fishing in the surrounding ponds and creeks. The numerous private ponds dotting the landscape are often the best kept secrets, but even the public access areas offer solid opportunities. Spring is prime time, with bass moving shallow to spawn. Target areas with flooded timber, lily pads, and other vegetation. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and soft plastics are all effective lures. During the hotter summer months, focus on fishing early and late in the day, or try fishing deeper structure with Carolina rigs or Texas rigs. A local tip: many of the smaller creeks feeding into the Cimarron River hold surprisingly good bass, and can be accessed by wading. Remember to always ask for permission before fishing on private property.
