Barby Number Five Reservoir

Barby Number Five Reservoir is a reservoir in Beaver County, Oklahoma, and on a first trip here, i would let the layout in front of me guide the first casts and that usually makes the second trip easier than the first

What I would know first when you are still learning the lake: with the known facts separated from the unknowns

The available physical facts are useful as context before the trip, including a record with acreage, maximum depth, and storage still unfilled, while anything that is still blank should stay blank until a better source appears so a future agency map or survey can improve the page the right way

How I would think about the day before you go: in plain English

The current record identifies the water but not the fish in it, so i would rather keep the fish section short than invent a target which keeps the database cleaner over the long run

The practical picture for a relaxed day: without the filler

After I have given myself a chance to look before casting, i would give the easiest cover to read a fair chance because one quiet stretch should not wreck the whole day
